As you can tell, both of these cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm S4200 due to its tinier sensor will make getting shallower depth of field harder and the Nikon D3400 will give you more detail as a result of its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop images more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm S4200 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
