Often, it is very tough to visualise the difference between sensor measurements just by going over a spec sheet. The photograph below may provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-Z16 and S01.

As you can see, both cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The EX-Z16 with its larger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Casio EX-Z16 will deliver greater detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics a little more aggressively. The older EX-Z16 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
