Clearly, the 2 cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The EX-Z2000 with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field trickier and the Casio EX-Z2000 will produce more detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop images more aggressively. The newer EX-Z2000 provides a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
