Normally, it is very hard to visualize the gap between sensor dimensions purely by going over specs. The pic here might provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the S8200 and MX-1.

As you can plainly see, each of the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The S8200 using its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF harder and the Nikon S8200 will deliver greater detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more aged S8200 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
