Clearly, each of the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm S4800 using its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field tougher and the Fujifilm S4800 will give you extra detail because of its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm S4800 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
