Sometimes, it's hard to picture the contrast between sensor sizes purely by going over technical specs. The pic here might give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the S200EXR and Fujifilm F550 EXR.

As you have seen, both the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The S200EXR having a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF easier and the Fujifilm F550 EXR will deliver more detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos way more aggressively. The more aged S200EXR is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
