Typically, it's difficult to visualize the gap between sensor sizes only by looking at a spec sheet. The pic below may provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-H10 and Fujifilm F550 EXR.

Clearly, the two cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The EX-H10 because of its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field trickier and the Fujifilm F550 EXR will give more detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged EX-H10 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
