To sum up, both of those cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The SX410 IS using its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field trickier and the Fujifilm X-T20 will deliver more detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs much more aggressively. The more aged SX410 IS is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
