Often, it can be tough to see the difference between sensor measurements simply by going over a spec sheet. The photograph here will give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX130 IS and Fujifilm HS35EXR.

Clearly, each of the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The SX130 IS having a tinier sensor will make shooting shallow DOF tougher and the Fujifilm HS35EXR will deliver extra detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots a little more aggressively. The older SX130 IS is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
