Clearly, the two cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The EX-Z35 having a larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Casio EX-Z35 will provide you with more detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images a bit more aggressively. The more recent EX-Z35 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
