Sometimes, it is very tough to picture the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by looking through specifications. The image below might give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX230 HS and Fujifilm X-A3.

Plainly, each of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The SX230 HS with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting bokeh more challenging and the Fujifilm X-A3 will render more detail using its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop images way more aggressively. The more aged SX230 HS will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
