Sometimes, it can be difficult to visualize the difference between sensor sizing just by checking specifications. The visual below will help offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the S120 and Fujifilm JZ100.

Plainly, both the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The S120 due to its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Fujifilm JZ100 will resolve more detail due to its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures way more aggressively. The more recent S120 should have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
