Sometimes, its tough to picture the contrast between sensor sizing purely by looking at a spec sheet. The graphic here might provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-Z33 and DP2x.

As you can see, each of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The EX-Z33 with its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF harder and the Casio EX-Z33 will give you more detail having an extra 5MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older EX-Z33 is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
