Clearly, both of the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The EX-Z16 due to its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field trickier and the Casio EX-Z16 will result in extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos a little more aggressively. The fresher EX-Z16 should have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
