Clearly, both of the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The A800 because of its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field trickier and the Fujifilm X20 will offer you extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images much more aggressively. The older A800 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
