More often than not, it is very hard to envision the difference between sensor sizes just by checking a spec sheet. The picture here may offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the S100 and Fujifilm F200EXR.

As you can see, each of these cameras enjoy the same exact megapixel count albeit not the same sensor sizes. The S100 comes with the tinier sensor which will make achieving shallower DOF harder. The younger S100 will have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
