In many cases, it is tough to visualize the gap in sensor sizes merely by seeing a spec sheet. The picture underneath should provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm S2 Pro and Fujifilm SL240.

Clearly, both of these cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm S2 Pro because of its larger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Fujifilm SL240 will produce greater detail due to its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm S2 Pro will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
