More often than not, its tough to picture the difference in sensor sizing just by going through technical specs. The graphic underneath might provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the 1 S1 and fp L.

As you can tell, both of these cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The 1 S1 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more difficult and the Sigma fp L will provide extra detail as a result of its extra 51 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs more aggressively. The older 1 S1 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
