Generally, its hard to visualize the difference between sensor dimensions simply by checking technical specs. The image underneath might offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the SX10 IS and Fujifilm S1.
As you can tell, both the cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit different MP. You should count on the Fujifilm S1 to resolve greater detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more aged SX10 IS is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
