Sometimes, it is tough to imagine the difference between sensor sizing only by reading through specs. The visual below may offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-S1 and P530.

All in all, both of these cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-S1 using its larger sensor is going to make getting bokeh easier and the Nikon P530 will give more detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop pics a bit more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X-S1 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
