The EX-ZR100 was introduced 3 years earlier than the Fujifilm S1 which is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras come with different body type with the Casio EX-ZR100 being a Compact camera and the Fujifilm S1 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before we go in to a thorough comparison, below is a concise introduction of how the EX-ZR100 grades against the Fujifilm S1 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Sometimes, it's difficult to imagine the gap between sensor dimensions only by going over a spec sheet. The pic here should give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-ZR100 and Fujifilm S1.

As you can see, both the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different MP. You should expect the Fujifilm S1 to offer you extra detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more aged EX-ZR100 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
