Often, it is very difficult to envision the contrast between sensor measurements purely by going over technical specs. The graphic here should offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX280 HS and Fujifilm Z37.

As you can tell, both cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Canon SX280 HS to deliver greater detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics much more aggressively. The more recent SX280 HS is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
