Typically, it can be hard to imagine the gap in sensor sizing just by looking through a spec sheet. The visual below will help give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm Z1000EXR and E70.

As you can see, the two cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm Z1000EXR having a larger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Fujifilm Z1000EXR will render greater detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics more aggressively. The younger Fujifilm Z1000EXR should have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
