More often than not, it is tough to see the difference between sensor sizing only by reading through a spec sheet. The graphic here might give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm SL1000 and SD15.

As you can see, the two cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm SL1000 with its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow DOF harder and the Fujifilm SL1000 will resolve extra detail using its extra 11MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures way more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm SL1000 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
