Quite often, its hard to imagine the difference in sensor sizing merely by going through a spec sheet. The photograph below may offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-Z400 and R-D1.

Clearly, the two cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The EX-Z400 using its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field trickier and the Casio EX-Z400 will provide greater detail having an extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more modern EX-Z400 provides an advantage in sensor tech.
