Often, it's hard to see the gap in sensor sizing only by seeing specifications. The graphic below may offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the S4000 and V-Lux 4.

To sum up, the 2 cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same megapixels. You can count on the FujiFilm S4000 to produce more detail having an extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots way more aggressively. The older S4000 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
