Both Canon A3500 IS and Fujifilm F800EXR have 16.0 MP resolution sensors but Canon A3500 IS's sensor is 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) and Fujifilm F800EXR's sensor is 1/2-inch (6.4 x 4.8 mm ).
Since Fujifilm F800EXR's has a larger sensor area with the same resolution, this means that it also has a larger pixel area hence better light collecting capacity for a given aperture compared to Canon A3500 IS.
Below you can see the A3500 IS and F800EXR sensor size comparison.
Canon A3500 IS and Fujifilm F800EXR have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the same focal length and aperture.
