As you can see, both of those cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The SX210 IS having a smaller sensor will make getting shallower depth of field harder and the Fujifilm HS35EXR will show extra detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images much more aggressively. The older SX210 IS will be behind in sensor technology.
