As you can tell, both of these cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The D20 because of its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF more difficult and the Fujifilm F800EXR will produce greater detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots much more aggressively. The younger D20 should have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
