Usually, it is very tough to picture the gap in sensor dimensions simply by viewing technical specs. The image here will provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-Z270 and Fujifilm SL1000.

As you can tell, both of those cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The EX-Z270 having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting bokeh harder and the Fujifilm SL1000 will result in greater detail with its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs way more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z270 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
