Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability score of the Fujifilm Real 3D W3 and fp is 90 and 84 respectively.

Typically, it is hard to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by reading technical specs. The image below should give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm Real 3D W3 and fp.

As you have seen, both of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm Real 3D W3 because of its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF harder and the Sigma fp will offer you extra detail having its extra 15MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm Real 3D W3 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
