In many cases, it can be hard to picture the contrast in sensor sizing purely by seeing a spec sheet. The graphic here might offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-ZS5 and DP2.

As you can see, both cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The EX-ZS5 having a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF more difficult and the Casio EX-ZS5 will show greater detail using its extra 9 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The fresher EX-ZS5 provides an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
