Canon 40D vs FujiFilm JZ300 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is hard to picture the contrast in sensor dimensions only by researching technical specs. The image here will give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the 40D and JZ300.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The 40D using its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the FujiFilm JZ300 will result in more detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged 40D will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
