To sum up, both the cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Fujifilm S4200 to give you greater detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The older TRYX is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
