Usually, it's difficult to imagine the gap in sensor dimensions only by researching a spec sheet. The pic underneath will give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the S1800 and a5000.

Clearly, both of these cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The S1800 with its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF trickier and the Sony a5000 will render extra detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures far more aggressively. The more aged S1800 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
