As you have seen, both cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm S4500 due to its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field tougher and the Fujifilm S4500 will deliver more detail as a result of its extra 9MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The younger Fujifilm S4500 provides a benefit in sensor innovation.
