Both Fujifilm Instax Wide EVO and Fujifilm F900EXR have 16.0 MP resolution sensors but Fujifilm Instax Wide EVO's sensor is 1/3-inch (4.8 x 3.6 mm ) and Fujifilm F900EXR's sensor is 1/2-inch (6.4 x 4.8 mm ).
Since Fujifilm F900EXR'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 Fujifilm Instax Wide EVO.
Below you can see the Instax Wide EVO and F900EXR sensor size comparison.

As seen above, Fujifilm F900EXR has a 1.8x Larger sensor area than Fujifilm Instax Wide EVO. 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
Fujifilm Instax Wide EVO
or the
Fujifilm F900EXR ,
including hyperfocal distance.
One thing to watch when comparing these two: they have different sensor sizes
(1/3-inch versus 1/2-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.
