As you can see, both of the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm F900EXR featuring a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field simpler and the Fujifilm F900EXR will render greater detail due to its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The younger Fujifilm F900EXR should have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
