Generally, some of the advantages of the Casio EX-S12 compared to pro digicam competitors include: it records lower quality movies (720p @ 24fps vs none), is significantly smaller (compact 95x60x23 mm vs prosumer size 138x103x62 mm), takes much higher resolution photos (9.8 MP vs 0.3 MP), records movies in 24p and is newer (january, 2009 vs february, 2001).
However, on average it doesn't shoot RAW, has a significantly narrower aperture (f/2.8 vs f/1.8), has a significantly narrower wide angle lens (36 mm vs 24 mm), doesn't have image stabilization (none vs lens) and lacks boost light sensitivity (none vs 12,800 ISO).
