Both Fujifilm S9900w and Olympus SZ-16 iHS have 16.0 MP resolution sensors but Fujifilm S9900w's sensor is (1/2. ) and Olympus SZ-16 iHS's sensor is 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ).
Since Olympus SZ-16 iHS's has a larger sensor area with the same resolution, this means that it also has a larger pixel area hence better light collecting capacity for a given aperture compared to Fujifilm S9900w.
Below you can see the S9900w and SZ-16 iHS sensor size comparison.
