Plainly, each of the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The SX220 HS with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF more difficult and the Fujifilm HS35EXR will provide you with more detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures more aggressively. The more aged SX220 HS will be behind in sensor tech.
