Typically, it can be difficult to envision the gap between sensor sizes purely by looking at technical specs. The pic here will offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm HS35EXR and SP-800 UZ.

As you can tell, each of these cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm HS35EXR with its bigger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Fujifilm HS35EXR will give you extra detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots way more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm HS35EXR will have an edge in sensor tech.
