Often, its difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes only by looking through a spec sheet. The pic here might offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-ZR400 and P7100.

Clearly, both of those cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The EX-ZR400 featuring a smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field harder and the Casio EX-ZR400 will render more detail due to its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will let you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The newer EX-ZR400 will have an edge in sensor tech.
