All in all, both of these cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The EX-ZR800 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make getting bokeh more challenging and the Casio EX-ZR800 will resolve more detail due to its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots way more aggressively. The older EX-ZR800 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
