Often, its tough to envision the difference in sensor measurements only by seeing specifications. The graphic here should give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the T300 and DP2.

To sum up, both of these cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The T300 with its smaller sensor will make getting bokeh tougher and the FujiFilm T300 will produce more detail using its extra 9MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots much more aggressively. The more recent T300 will have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
