Clearly, each of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but different megapixels. You should anticipate the FujiFilm S4000 to give more detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics a little more aggressively. The older SX10 IS is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
