As you can see, each of these cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm T500 due to its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF more challenging and the Fujifilm T500 will offer you greater detail having its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs much more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm T500 should have an advantage in sensor tech.
