Plainly, each of these cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The EX-Z270 due to its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field more difficult and the Casio EX-Z270 will give greater detail due to its extra 5 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics way more aggressively. The older EX-Z270 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
