Quite often, it can be difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by reading through specs. The image underneath will help provide you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the XC10 and S3200.

All in all, both cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The XC10 due to its larger sensor will make achieving bokeh easier and the FujiFilm S3200 will give you more detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more recent XC10 will have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
