In many cases, it can be tough to see the gap in sensor dimensions merely by seeing specs. The image here may give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the SX420 IS and Fujifilm HS35EXR.
All in all, each of these cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The SX420 IS with its smaller sensor will make getting bokeh trickier and the Canon SX420 IS will show more detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots a little more aggressively. The newer SX420 IS is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
