As you can see, both of the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X20 due to its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field easier and the Fujifilm X20 will provide extra detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images a bit more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm X20 should have an edge in sensor technology.
