All in all, both of the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The S1800 because of its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field more difficult and the FujiFilm S1800 will give you extra detail having its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs a little more aggressively.
