More often than not, it can be difficult to imagine the gap between sensor measurements only by reading a spec sheet. The visual here will help give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm S9400W and DP2.

As you can see, both of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm S9400W featuring a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF more difficult and the Fujifilm S9400W will deliver more detail as a result of its extra 11MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The younger Fujifilm S9400W should have a benefit in sensor tech.
