More often than not, it's hard to envision the gap in sensor measurements purely by checking out a spec sheet. The visual here may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-ZR400 and DP1x.

Clearly, both cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The EX-ZR400 with its smaller sensor will make shooting bokeh trickier and the Casio EX-ZR400 will show greater detail with its extra 11MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The fresher EX-ZR400 is going to have an edge in sensor tech.
