Quite often, its difficult to see the contrast between sensor dimensions simply by checking technical specs. The pic here will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the R and Fujifilm S4200.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The R using its bigger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF easier and the Canon R will resolve greater detail because of its extra 16MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The fresher R is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
