Often, it is very hard to imagine the difference between sensor measurements simply by reading through technical specs. The photograph underneath should offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm S8400W and WX500.

As you can tell, both of those cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different megapixels. You can expect to see the Sony WX500 to give extra detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos much more aggressively. The older Fujifilm S8400W is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
