Clearly, the 2 cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The F300EXR with its larger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the FujiFilm F300EXR will give greater detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The younger F300EXR will have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
