Sometimes, it is very hard to visualize the difference between sensor measurements only by looking at specs. The visual below should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm F800EXR and FH1.

All in all, the two cameras have different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm F800EXR featuring a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF easier and the Fujifilm F800EXR will resolve extra detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm F800EXR should have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
