To sum up, both of these cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm HS50 EXR having a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF easier and the Fujifilm HS50 EXR will result in more detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The younger Fujifilm HS50 EXR should have an edge in sensor technology.
