Sometimes, it is hard to visualise the gap in sensor sizes just by researching specifications. The picture below will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm SL1000 and SP-600 UZ.

To sum up, each of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Fujifilm SL1000 to render more detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images a bit more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm SL1000 is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
