In many cases, its hard to visualize the gap between sensor sizing just by reviewing technical specs. The visual here may give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the SX1 IS and Fujifilm X-S10.

As you can tell, the two cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The SX1 IS with its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF more challenging and the Fujifilm X-S10 will deliver greater detail using its extra 16 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The older SX1 IS is going to be behind in sensor tech.
