Sometimes, it's difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor measurements only by reading through a spec sheet. The photograph here should give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm XF1 and S1.
Clearly, both of the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm XF1 featuring a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Pentax S1 will give you extra detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics way more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm XF1 should have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
