In many cases, it's hard to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions simply by reading through specifications. The image underneath should offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm S4200 and 1s.

To sum up, the two cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm S4200 featuring a tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF more challenging and the Fujifilm S4200 will give you more detail utilizing its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm S4200 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
