Usually, it is very tough to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing purely by going through specifications. The graphic here should provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the AV250 and LS5.
Plainly, both cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the FujiFilm AV250 to produce greater detail due to its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures far more aggressively.
