Clearly, each of the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The AV250 featuring a tinier sensor will make getting shallower DOF more difficult and the FujiFilm AV250 will give you extra detail as a result of its extra 13MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more modern AV250 is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
