To sum up, both of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm XF1 because of its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the Nikon S6000 will provide greater detail having its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm XF1 should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
