Sometimes, it is very tough to visualize the gap in sensor sizes purely by checking out technical specs. The picture here should give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm SL240 and fp.

As you have seen, both of these cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm SL240 because of its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF trickier and the Sigma fp will show greater detail as a result of its extra 11 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics far more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm SL240 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
