Plainly, both the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm S8200 due to its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field trickier and the Fujifilm S8200 will render more detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop images way more aggressively. The more recent Fujifilm S8200 should have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
