Generally, it is tough to visualise the difference between sensor measurements purely by looking at technical specs. The photograph here will provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm S9900w and DP2s.

As you can tell, both of those cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm S9900w using its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower DOF trickier and the Fujifilm S9900w will resolve extra detail with its extra 11 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics a little more aggressively. The fresher Fujifilm S9900w is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
