Normally, it can be tough to see the gap between sensor sizes just by checking a spec sheet. The pic underneath should give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the S2500HD and K10D.

Clearly, both cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The S2500HD due to its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field trickier and the FujiFilm S2500HD will give greater detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop photos much more aggressively. The fresher S2500HD is going to have a benefit in sensor innovation.
