All in all, the 2 cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm HS35EXR using its larger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Fujifilm HS35EXR will give greater detail using its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The younger Fujifilm HS35EXR is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
