In many cases, it is very hard to picture the gap in sensor sizing just by seeing technical specs. The photograph below will give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm SL240 and ZS80.
As you can tell, both of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit different megapixels.
