Plainly, both cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The S200 featuring a larger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field easier and the FujiFilm JV100 will offer you greater detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics more aggressively. The younger S200 provides an edge with regard to sensor technology.
