Quite often, it's difficult to picture the contrast between sensor sizing merely by looking at specifications. The visual here will provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm S9900w and E-300.

Plainly, both of these cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm S9900w with its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field trickier and the Fujifilm S9900w will give you extra detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm S9900w should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
