Typically, it is hard to picture the difference between sensor sizing just by looking at a spec sheet. The visual below may provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the S2500HD and fp L.

As you can see, each of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The S2500HD due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field trickier and the Sigma fp L will give you greater detail due to its extra 49MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures way more aggressively. The older S2500HD is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
