Typically, it's tough to visualise the difference between sensor dimensions purely by reviewing a spec sheet. The image below will offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm F660EXR and Fujifilm S1500.

As you can see, both of those cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm F660EXR having a larger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Fujifilm F660EXR will offer extra detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos more aggressively. The more recent Fujifilm F660EXR will have an advantage in sensor innovation.
