More often than not, it's difficult to picture the contrast between sensor measurements only by checking technical specs. The graphic below will provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the S200EXR and Fujifilm JZ100.

As you can tell, the two cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The S200EXR using its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF easier and the Fujifilm JZ100 will give more detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older S200EXR is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
