Clearly, the 2 cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm S1 because of its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field harder and the Fujifilm S1 will provide you with more detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots way more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm S1 will have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
