As you have seen, each of these cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 1000D using its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Fujifilm F900EXR will deliver more detail with its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos much more aggressively. The older 1000D is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
