Normally, it's hard to visualise the difference in sensor sizes just by going through technical specs. The image here may give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm A100 and LF1.

As you can tell, both of those cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm A100 featuring a smaller sensor will make getting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Panasonic LF1 will provide more detail having its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm A100 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
