Quite often, it's difficult to imagine the difference in sensor dimensions purely by checking out a spec sheet. The image underneath should give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the F300EXR and Fujifilm S8600.

Clearly, the 2 cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The F300EXR featuring a larger sensor is going to make getting bokeh simpler and the Fujifilm S8600 will provide extra detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more aged F300EXR will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
