Oftentimes, it is very tough to visualise the gap between sensor sizing just by going over specifications. The graphic here will give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm S8100fd and S3600.

Plainly, both of those cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Nikon S3600 to offer extra detail due to its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images much more aggressively. The older Fujifilm S8100fd is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
