In many cases, its tough to visualize the difference in sensor measurements merely by going through specs. The visual below might give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-ZR800 and ZS8.
As you can plainly see, both cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different resolution. You can anticipate the Casio EX-ZR800 to show more detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos far more aggressively. The fresher EX-ZR800 should have an advantage in sensor tech.
