In many cases, it's hard to visualise the gap between sensor measurements purely by reviewing specifications. The visual underneath might offer you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm S2000HD and SZ-30MR.

Plainly, both of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Olympus SZ-30MR to offer you extra detail having an extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics more aggressively. The older Fujifilm S2000HD is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
