As you can see, both of these cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The EX-Z400 because of its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Fujifilm HS50 EXR will offer you greater detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The older EX-Z400 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
