Typically, its tough to picture the gap between sensor sizing just by checking technical specs. The photograph below may offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the F80EXR and Fujifilm S8300.

As you have seen, each of the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The F80EXR having a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Fujifilm S8300 will resolve extra detail having an extra 4MP. Greater resolution will let you crop images much more aggressively. The older F80EXR is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
