Typically, it's difficult to envision the difference in sensor sizing simply by checking out a spec sheet. The graphic here will give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the SX150 IS and FE-5020.

As you can see, both of those cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You can anticipate the Canon SX150 IS to show more detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics far more aggressively. The newer SX150 IS will have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
