As you can see, both of these cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm SL300 with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting bokeh more difficult and the Fujifilm SL300 will render more detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm SL300 will be behind in sensor tech.
