More often than not, its tough to imagine the difference between sensor measurements simply by looking at a spec sheet. The graphic below should give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm XQ1 and Touch.

As you can see, the 2 cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm XQ1 featuring a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Kodak Touch will give extra detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images a bit more aggressively. The fresher Fujifilm XQ1 should have a benefit in sensor tech.
