Sometimes, it can be tough to visualize the gap in sensor sizing just by seeing technical specs. The visual here will help offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the S110 and Fujifilm A100.

As you can tell, both the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The S110 using its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon S110 will show greater detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The younger S110 should have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
