All in all, both the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The S2950 using its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field more challenging and the FujiFilm S2950 will offer extra detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots a little more aggressively. The more recent S2950 should have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
