All in all, both the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Fujifilm S4500 to provide you with more detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos much more aggressively. The older Fujifilm A100 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
