All in all, both of these cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The 400D featuring a larger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF easier and the FujiFilm JZ300 will offer extra detail having its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will help you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more aged 400D is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
