Oftentimes, it is very hard to visualize the gap in sensor dimensions merely by seeing specs. The image underneath might provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the HS20 EXR and FZ47.
All in all, both of these cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The HS20 EXR using its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF simpler and the FujiFilm HS20 EXR will produce greater detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots a good deal more aggressively.
