Often, it is very hard to visualize the gap between sensor dimensions purely by checking specifications. The pic underneath might offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm S8400W and E-M10 IV.

Plainly, both of these cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm S8400W having a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF more challenging and the Olympus E-M10 IV will give you greater detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs way more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm S8400W is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
