Plainly, both of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The S2500HD because of its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF tougher and the FujiFilm S2500HD will resolve greater detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics more aggressively. The more modern S2500HD should have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
