All in all, each of these cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The S200EXR with its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF easier and the FujiFilm S2950 will render greater detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images a bit more aggressively. The older S200EXR will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
