Quite often, its difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor measurements just by reviewing technical specs. The visual below will help offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the XC10 and T300.

As you can tell, both of these cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The XC10 because of its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the FujiFilm T300 will offer you greater detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop images a bit more aggressively. The more recent XC10 should have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
