Normally, it is difficult to imagine the contrast between sensor measurements merely by reading specs. The visual here might offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the S2800HD and Fujifilm T550.

All in all, both cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but different resolution. You should anticipate the Fujifilm T550 to offer more detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images a little more aggressively. The older S2800HD is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
