Often, its tough to envision the contrast in sensor dimensions just by looking through specs. The pic below might provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X10 and S30.
As you can plainly see, both cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X10 with its bigger sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Fujifilm X10 will result in greater detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures far more aggressively.
