Generally, it can be difficult to picture the gap in sensor sizes purely by viewing a spec sheet. The pic below should provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm XF1 and ZS10.

Clearly, both cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm XF1 due to its larger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF easier and the Panasonic ZS10 will provide you with greater detail having its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will let you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm XF1 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
