Quite often, it is very hard to imagine the contrast between sensor measurements purely by checking a spec sheet. The graphic here might provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-S1 and LZ40.

As you can see, both of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-S1 featuring a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Panasonic LZ40 will resolve greater detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X-S1 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
