Generally, it's difficult to see the contrast in sensor measurements purely by checking out a spec sheet. The photograph here will provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the F80EXR and S9300.

Clearly, both of those cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The F80EXR using its larger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Nikon S9300 will produce more detail having an extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop images way more aggressively. The older F80EXR will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
