Canon 10D has a
6.0MP APS-C (22.7 x 15.1 mm ) sized CMOS sensor . On the other hand, Fujifilm A150 has a
10.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CCD sensor .
Below you can see the 10D and A150 sensor size comparison.

As seen above, Canon 10D has a 12.2x Larger sensor area than Fujifilm A150. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.
Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Canon 10D
or the
Fujifilm A150 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
One thing to watch when comparing these two: they have different sensor sizes
(APS-C versus 1/2.3-inch),
so compare them at the same framing rather than the same focal length.
Put the same focal length on the smaller sensor and it will show less depth of
field, not more, because it also crops tighter. The calculator shows the
full frame equivalent focal length for each body so you can match the framing.
