Normally, it is very difficult to visualize the gap between sensor sizing simply by reading through a spec sheet. The photograph below should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm X-S10 and G1.

As you can see, the 2 cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-S10 featuring a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Fujifilm X-S10 will give you extra detail as a result of its extra 14 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots way more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm X-S10 should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
