More often than not, its hard to see the difference between sensor dimensions simply by checking specifications. The image below will provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-FS10 and Fujifilm HS50 EXR.

Plainly, the 2 cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The EX-FS10 featuring a tinier sensor will make getting shallow DOF trickier and the Fujifilm HS50 EXR will resolve greater detail as a result of its extra 7MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged EX-FS10 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
