In many cases, it can be difficult to picture the difference in sensor sizing merely by checking out technical specs. The graphic here may give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the S200 and FE-47.

As you have seen, both of these cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The S200 having a larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Olympus FE-47 will produce greater detail having an extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more modern S200 should have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
