As you can see, both of these cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The S90 due to its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field simpler and the FujiFilm AX350 will give you greater detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images a bit more aggressively. The older S90 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
