As you can see, the two cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The SX120 IS due to its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF more challenging and the Fujifilm X-S10 will produce greater detail due to its extra 16 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images much more aggressively. The older SX120 IS will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
