Clearly, both the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The AV250 using its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower DOF trickier and the FujiFilm AV250 will offer greater detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more aged AV250 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
