Often, it's hard to visualize the difference between sensor sizing merely by reading a spec sheet. The visual below may give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the SD1300 IS and Fujifilm X-T20.

Clearly, both the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The SD1300 IS having a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF more challenging and the Fujifilm X-T20 will offer you more detail using its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images a bit more aggressively. The older SD1300 IS is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
