As you can see, both cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X-S1 because of its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF more difficult and the Panasonic FZ1000 will provide extra detail due to its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots a little more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X-S1 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
