To sum up, the 2 cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm A100 using its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field tougher and the Fujifilm X-S10 will produce extra detail using its extra 16 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures much more aggressively. The older Fujifilm A100 will be behind in sensor tech.
