Generally, it can be hard to picture the difference in sensor sizes purely by seeing technical specs. The image below should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-ZR1000 and WG-10.
As you have seen, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different MP. You can expect the Casio EX-ZR1000 to show extra detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more aged EX-ZR1000 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
