The Fujifilm F750EXR with its tinier sensor will make getting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Fujifilm F750EXR will give you greater detail with its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm F750EXR is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
