Typically, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor sizes just by reviewing specifications. The picture here might give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the F300EXR and M580.

Plainly, both of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The F300EXR having a larger sensor will make getting bokeh easier and the Kodak M580 will offer more detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The fresher F300EXR is going to have an advantage in sensor technology.
