Usually, its hard to picture the gap in sensor dimensions only by looking through specs. The pic below should offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the AV250 and S2.
All in all, both the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but different resolution. You can expect to see the FujiFilm AV250 to render extra detail having its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos a little more aggressively. The more aged AV250 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
