Normally, it is very difficult to picture the gap between sensor sizing only by reading specifications. The photograph here may provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the HS20 EXR and D300.

Plainly, both of those cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The HS20 EXR using its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF harder and the FujiFilm HS20 EXR will offer you more detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images a little more aggressively. The newer HS20 EXR should have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
