More often than not, it can be difficult to visualize the difference in sensor measurements simply by looking through technical specs. The visual below may offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-Z16 and D2Hs.

As you have seen, each of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The EX-Z16 because of its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Casio EX-Z16 will result in greater detail as a result of its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The younger EX-Z16 provides an edge in sensor tech.
