In many cases, it is very hard to imagine the difference between sensor sizing simply by reading specs. The graphic here should give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm F550 EXR and C.

All in all, both of the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm F550 EXR having a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF harder and the Fujifilm F550 EXR will offer more detail with its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots way more aggressively. The older Fujifilm F550 EXR is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
