More often than not, it's difficult to imagine the gap in sensor measurements merely by looking through technical specs. The graphic below will help give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the SX270 HS and Fujifilm Z1000EXR.

As you have seen, both of these cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The SX270 HS because of its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field tougher and the Fujifilm Z1000EXR will result in greater detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more recent SX270 HS provides an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
