As you have seen, both of those cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The 300D with its larger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the FujiFilm F80EXR will offer greater detail using its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The older 300D is going to be behind in sensor tech.
