Sometimes, it is difficult to visualise the gap in sensor measurements only by going through technical specs. The graphic below will help provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm A150 and Fujifilm Z1000EXR.

As you have seen, each of these cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm A150 due to its smaller sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field more challenging and the Fujifilm Z1000EXR will provide greater detail having its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures more aggressively. The older Fujifilm A150 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
