Both Fujifilm F800EXR and Fujifilm F550 EXR have 1/2-inch sized 16.0 MP resolution sensors so sensor size and resolution is not a differentiator between these two cameras.
Below you can see the F800EXR and F550 EXR sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Fujifilm F800EXR and Fujifilm F550 EXR Cameras
Fujifilm F800EXR and Fujifilm F550 EXR have the same sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture.
DxOMark Sensor Scores
Both Fujifilm F800EXR and Fujifilm F550 EXR sensors have been tested by DxoMark. DxoMark scores camera sensors for color depth (DXO Portrait), dynamic range (DXO Landscape) and low-light sensitivity (DXO Sports), and also gives them an overall score. Of the two cameras that we are comparing, F800EXR has scored 41, 2 points higher than F550 EXR.

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
Fujifilm F800EXR
or the
Fujifilm F550 EXR ,
including hyperfocal distance.
