Normally, its difficult to picture the gap in sensor sizes simply by going through a spec sheet. The picture below should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the S-1 and fp L.

As you can see, each of these cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The S-1 with its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field tougher and the Sigma fp L will provide more detail having an extra 45MP. Greater resolution will let you crop pics much more aggressively. The more aged S-1 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
