As you can see, both the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The EX-ZS15 with its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Casio EX-ZS15 will render more detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos far more aggressively. The more recent EX-ZS15 provides an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
