Often, its difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor measurements simply by going over a spec sheet. The photograph underneath should offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the FE-4030 and LF1.
Clearly, each of the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The FE-4030 due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field harder and the Olympus FE-4030 will deliver extra detail due to its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics far more aggressively. The older FE-4030 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
