Both Nikon B600 and Fujifilm F770EXR have 16.0 MP resolution sensors but Nikon B600's sensor is 1/2.3 (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) and Fujifilm F770EXR's sensor is 1/2-inch (6.4 x 4.8 mm ).
Since Fujifilm F770EXR'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 Nikon B600.
Below you can see the B600 and F770EXR sensor size comparison.

Nikon B600 and Fujifilm F770EXR 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.
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
Nikon B600
or the
Fujifilm F770EXR ,
including hyperfocal distance.
One thing to watch when comparing these two: they have different sensor sizes
(1/2.3 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.
