Clearly, both of those cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The SX120 IS due to its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF harder and the Fujifilm F900EXR will offer you greater detail utilizing its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The older SX120 IS is going to be behind in sensor technology.
