As you can see, both of the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The EX-100 featuring a larger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the FujiFilm S2950 will deliver extra detail having its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images way more aggressively. The more modern EX-100 will have an advantage in sensor technology.
