Normally, its difficult to imagine the difference between sensor sizing just by reviewing technical specs. The visual here will offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-Z2000 and FS42.

As you can tell, both the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The EX-Z2000 using its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Casio EX-Z2000 will offer extra detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more recent EX-Z2000 should have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
