As you can see, the two cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The SX280 HS because of its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Fujifilm F660EXR will provide more detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more recent SX280 HS should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
