As you can see, each of these cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm F200EXR using its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Nikon S9700 will render more detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm F200EXR will be behind in sensor tech.
