More often than not, it is very difficult to visualize the difference in sensor measurements purely by researching specs. The graphic here might provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm HS50 EXR and Fujifilm X-S10.

All in all, each of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm HS50 EXR due to its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more difficult and the Fujifilm X-S10 will provide you with extra detail due to its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The older Fujifilm HS50 EXR will be behind in sensor tech.
