To sum up, both the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The AV200 using its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF more difficult and the FujiFilm AV200 will offer you greater detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop images more aggressively. The more aged AV200 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
