Typically, it is difficult to picture the contrast between sensor measurements merely by reading specs. The visual underneath might offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the SX10 IS and Fujifilm S8200.

All in all, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different resolution. You should expect the Fujifilm S8200 to offer more detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The older SX10 IS is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
