Sometimes, its difficult to imagine the difference in sensor measurements purely by viewing specifications. The graphic underneath will give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the SX1 IS and Fujifilm S8600.
Plainly, each of these cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit different resolution. You should count on the Fujifilm S8600 to result in more detail with its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The older SX1 IS will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
