Usually, its difficult to visualise the difference between sensor dimensions merely by looking at specs. The pic here will provide you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm X20 and S9100.
All in all, both of the cameras posses the exact same resolution but not the same sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X20 offers the larger sensor which should make getting bokeh easier. The younger Fujifilm X20 is going to have an advantage in sensor tech.
