FujiFilm S4000 vs Sigma fp Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is very difficult to see the difference in sensor dimensions merely by looking through a spec sheet. The image here should offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the S4000 and fp.

As you can see, each of the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The S4000 using its smaller sensor will make achieving shallower DOF harder and the Sigma fp will render more detail with its extra 11MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images a bit more aggressively. The more aged S4000 will be behind in sensor tech.
