Often, it is difficult to imagine the difference between sensor dimensions merely by going over technical specs. The image below might give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the F80EXR and GR Digital IV.

As you can tell, both cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The F80EXR using its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF more difficult and the FujiFilm F80EXR will offer you extra detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more aged F80EXR is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
