As you have seen, both of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Fujifilm S8300 to resolve extra detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures much more aggressively. The older EX-G1 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
