Quite often, it's hard to imagine the difference between sensor measurements merely by looking at a spec sheet. The photograph here will help offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm SL240 and D610.

As you can see, both of the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm SL240 having a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field harder and the Nikon D610 will resolve greater detail with its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The older Fujifilm SL240 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
