Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Casio EX-Z450 is significantly lighter (258g ) than the Samsung TL500 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Casio Exilim EX-Z450 nor Samsung TL500 (EX1) provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Casio EX-Z450 and Samsung TL500's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Samsung TL500 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. Casio EX-Z450's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to TL500.
