As you have seen, both the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-S10 with its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF less difficult and the Fujifilm X-S10 will give more detail because of its extra 10MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm X-S10 provides an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
