As you can tell, both of those cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The EX-Z35 because of its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF more challenging and the Casio EX-Z35 will provide you with more detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The fresher EX-Z35 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
