Normally, it can be difficult to see the gap between sensor dimensions just by looking at technical specs. The image here might give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm SL240 and SH-1.

As you can tell, both cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Olympus SH-1 to give you greater detail with its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images much more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm SL240 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
