Generally, it's tough to visualise the difference in sensor measurements just by researching technical specs. The visual here should give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the SX130 IS and Fujifilm SL300.

As you can tell, both of the cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Fujifilm SL300 to render greater detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs way more aggressively. The older SX130 IS will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
