Normally, it is difficult to envision the difference between sensor sizes only by going over a spec sheet. The pic underneath should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm A170 and Fujifilm JX550.

Clearly, both of those cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Fujifilm JX550 to deliver more detail due to its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots far more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm A170 is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
