Usually, it can be tough to visualise the contrast between sensor sizes purely by reading through technical specs. The image underneath should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the S1800 and Fujifilm F900EXR.

As you can tell, both the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The S1800 because of its tinier sensor will make getting bokeh more challenging and the Fujifilm F900EXR will give more detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs way more aggressively. The more aged S1800 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
