More often than not, its hard to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions purely by viewing technical specs. The image here will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm S1500 and HX400V.

As you can tell, both cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Sony HX400V to render more detail because of its extra 10MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm S1500 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
