Often, it is very difficult to visualize the difference in sensor sizes simply by looking through a spec sheet. The picture below will provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the AX350 and S200EXR.

Clearly, the 2 cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The AX350 having a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF more difficult and the FujiFilm AX350 will result in extra detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop pics more aggressively. The fresher AX350 should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
