Normally, it is hard to picture the difference in sensor dimensions purely by looking through specs. The pic here will provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm JZ100 and DP2.

All in all, the two cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm JZ100 using its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF trickier and the Fujifilm JZ100 will render more detail with its extra 9 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The fresher Fujifilm JZ100 should have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
