Generally, it is hard to envision the difference between sensor measurements just by checking specs. The photograph underneath should provide you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the S1800 and Fujifilm JX500.

Greater resolution can also let you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The older S1800 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
