Clearly, both of these cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The EX-ZR800 having a smaller sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Casio EX-ZR800 will provide more detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop images more aggressively. The older EX-ZR800 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
