As you can see, both of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The EX-S200 because of its tinier sensor will make getting shallow DOF tougher and the Zeiss ZX1 will give you extra detail due to its extra 23 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images way more aggressively. The more aged EX-S200 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
