Normally, its hard to see the difference in sensor sizes purely by looking through technical specs. The image underneath will help offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the AV250 and FH2.
As you have seen, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the FujiFilm AV250 to result in greater detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures a bit more aggressively.
