Oftentimes, it is very tough to visualize the contrast in sensor measurements only by going through specs. The graphic below might offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm XQ2 and ST600.
As you can plainly see, both of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm XQ2 because of its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Samsung ST600 will produce extra detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop shots far more aggressively. The more recent Fujifilm XQ2 provides an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
