More often than not, it is very hard to picture the gap between sensor dimensions only by reading through technical specs. The image here might offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm F900EXR and ZS3.

As you can tell, both of those cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm F900EXR having a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Fujifilm F900EXR will give you greater detail having an extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The fresher Fujifilm F900EXR should have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
