Clearly, both of these cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm F500 EXR with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field harder and the Fujifilm GFX 50S will render more detail using its extra 35MP. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs much more aggressively. The older Fujifilm F500 EXR will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
