Often, it is difficult to envision the gap between sensor dimensions purely by looking at a spec sheet. The picture here should give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-Z35 and CX6.

Clearly, the two cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Casio EX-Z35 to give greater detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images far more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z35 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
