As you can see, both the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm Z35 having a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF more difficult and the Fujifilm X20 will produce more detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm Z35 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
