As you can plainly see, the two cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The SX130 IS due to its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF harder and the Fujifilm F600 EXR will give you greater detail due to its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop photographs far more aggressively. The older SX130 IS is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
