All in all, both of these cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm T550 due to its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the Fujifilm T550 will give greater detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures far more aggressively. The older Fujifilm T550 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
