More often than not, it's hard to visualise the gap between sensor measurements only by looking at technical specs. The graphic here should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the S2800HD and Fujifilm F600 EXR.

As you have seen, both of those cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The S2800HD having a tinier sensor will make shooting bokeh tougher and the Fujifilm F600 EXR will give you extra detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The older S2800HD is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
