Typically, it can be hard to visualize the contrast in sensor dimensions only by viewing specs. The picture here will help give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX170 IS and Fujifilm F200EXR.

All in all, both of those cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The SX170 IS having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Canon SX170 IS will result in greater detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures way more aggressively. The more recent SX170 IS should have an advantage in sensor tech.
