More often than not, it is very tough to see the gap between sensor dimensions merely by checking a spec sheet. The pic below may give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the A2200 and Fujifilm F200EXR.

As you can see, each of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The A2200 having a tinier sensor will make getting shallow DOF tougher and the Canon A2200 will resolve greater detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos way more aggressively. The more modern A2200 is going to have a benefit in sensor innovation.
