Often, its tough to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions simply by checking out specs. The image here might offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the S2500HD and 1 J1.

All in all, the two cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The S2500HD due to its smaller sensor will make getting shallow depth of field more difficult and the FujiFilm S2500HD will produce greater detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged S2500HD will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
