Clearly, both of those cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The F300EXR with its larger sensor will make shooting shallow DOF simpler and the Fujifilm SL1000 will result in greater detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop images a little more aggressively. The older F300EXR will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
