Quite often, it's difficult to picture the difference between sensor dimensions simply by checking specifications. The picture here might offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-FS10 and DP3 Merrill.

Plainly, both cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The EX-FS10 having a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF more difficult and the Sigma DP3 Merrill will give you more detail using its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more aged EX-FS10 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
