As you can see, both the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-S10 having a larger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF easier and the Fujifilm X-S10 will give extra detail using its extra 10MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images way more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm X-S10 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
