As you can see, both cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Casio EX-ZR800 to result in more detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The younger EX-ZR800 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
