Often, it is tough to visualize the contrast between sensor sizes just by checking technical specs. The picture below should give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-S7 and S02.

As you have seen, each of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The EX-S7 using its larger sensor is going to make shooting bokeh less difficult and the Nikon S02 will give greater detail using its extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more aged EX-S7 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
