Generally, its tough to visualize the gap between sensor sizes purely by checking a spec sheet. The pic here will offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX270 HS and Fujifilm HS35EXR.

Clearly, both the cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The SX270 HS using its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field tougher and the Fujifilm HS35EXR will give greater detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics much more aggressively.
