Clearly, both of these cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm F770EXR due to its larger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF easier and the Fujifilm F770EXR will result in extra detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm F770EXR should have an advantage in sensor tech.
