The G16 was introduced 3 years later than the F80EXR and that is a fairly large gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of these cameras offer the identical body type (Compact).

Before going in to a full comparison, below is a concise view of how the G16 scores versus the F80EXR with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

In many cases, it is very hard to imagine the difference in sensor sizing merely by going through a spec sheet. The photograph below may give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the G16 and F80EXR.

Clearly, both cameras offer the same exact MP albeit different sensor sizing. The G16 has got the bigger sensor which is going to make obtaining shallow DOF easier. The more modern G16 should have an edge in sensor technology.
