Clearly, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Fujifilm S1 to resolve more detail utilizing its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images a bit more aggressively. The younger Fujifilm S1 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
