Normally, it is hard to picture the difference between sensor sizing just by checking a spec sheet. The visual underneath will help provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the S110 and JZ500.

Clearly, both cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The S110 using its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the FujiFilm JZ500 will give extra detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The newer S110 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
