Normally, its hard to picture the contrast in sensor sizes purely by seeing specifications. The picture here should provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm A100 and E-P1.
Plainly, both cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm A100 using its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field trickier and the Olympus E-P1 will provide more detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures more aggressively.
