Usually, it is tough to picture the difference in sensor sizes simply by researching specifications. The image below should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the SX280 HS and F70EXR.

To sum up, each of these cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The SX280 HS with its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF more difficult and the Canon SX280 HS will provide you with greater detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more recent SX280 HS should have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
