Often, it's hard to see the gap in sensor sizes just by seeing a spec sheet. The picture here may provide you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-ZR400 and SZ-10.
Clearly, both of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Casio EX-ZR400 to provide greater detail utilizing its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The newer EX-ZR400 is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
