Quite often, its tough to picture the difference in sensor measurements merely by going through a spec sheet. The graphic here may offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm F800EXR and W60.

Clearly, the two cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm F800EXR using its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Fujifilm F800EXR will provide greater detail having an extra 6MP. Higher resolution will help you crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm F800EXR provides an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
