As you can see, both the cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The XC10 with its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Fujifilm S4800 will offer you greater detail having an extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos a little more aggressively. The more recent XC10 should have an edge in sensor innovation.
