As you can see, each of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The EX-Z270 using its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF trickier and the FujiFilm JZ300 will produce more detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The older EX-Z270 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
