Generally, it is tough to envision the contrast between sensor sizing merely by checking a spec sheet. The graphic below might offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm S9400W and NX100.

As you can see, each of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm S9400W due to its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field trickier and the Fujifilm S9400W will give more detail due to its extra 1MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The younger Fujifilm S9400W is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
