Generally, it's hard to imagine the contrast between sensor dimensions simply by going over technical specs. The picture here should provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the S4000 and FE-25.

As you have seen, both of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit different MP. You can expect the Nikon S4000 to deliver more detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more modern S4000 provides a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
