Generally, it is very difficult to see the gap between sensor sizes merely by checking technical specs. The image underneath will offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX240 HS and S2800HD.

As you can tell, both of those cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You should anticipate the FujiFilm S2800HD to give you greater detail with its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more recent SX240 HS will have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
