Generally, some of the advantages of the Casio EX-ZR10 compared to boutique competitors include: it has way more more zoom (7x vs 3.1x), is slightly smaller (compact (102×69×27 mm) vs mid size (118×66×55 mm)), shoots faster continuously (40 fps vs 11 fps), is thinner (1.1" vs 2.2") and is slightly lighter (176 g vs 405 g).
However, on average it has a much narrower aperture (f/3 vs f/1.7), has a much narrower wide angle lens (28 mm vs 24 mm), has a slightly lower resolution screen (460k dots vs 921k dots), has worse image stabilization (sensor shift vs lens) and has a marginally smaller sensor (1/2.3" 6.16x4.62mm vs four thirds 17.3x13mm).
