Normally, it can be difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor dimensions just by going through specifications. The pic underneath may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-H30 and ZS20.
Plainly, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Casio EX-H30 to show more detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more aged EX-H30 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
