As you can see, each of these cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The EX-FC150 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF harder and the Nikon P7800 will offer you greater detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos a little more aggressively. The older EX-FC150 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
