Plainly, the 2 cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The EX-Z270 having a tinier sensor will make achieving shallow DOF more challenging and the FujiFilm F300EXR will resolve greater detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The older EX-Z270 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
