As you can tell, each of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm XQ2 having a bigger sensor will make getting shallow DOF simpler and the Samsung TL240 will give more detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm XQ2 will have a benefit in sensor innovation.
