Oftentimes, it can be tough to imagine the contrast between sensor sizes simply by looking at a spec sheet. The pic here might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the SX270 HS and HS20 EXR.

Clearly, both the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The SX270 HS with its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field harder and the FujiFilm HS20 EXR will give greater detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more recent SX270 HS provides a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
