Plainly, both of the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The EX-ZR800 using its smaller sensor will make getting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Casio EX-ZR800 will show extra detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos much more aggressively. The younger EX-ZR800 will have a benefit in sensor tech.
