Canon SX50 HS vs FujiFilm F300EXR Sensor Comparison

Normally, it's hard to envision the gap between sensor measurements purely by reviewing specifications. The photograph underneath will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the SX50 HS and F300EXR.

To sum up, the two cameras provide the same megapixels albeit not the same sensor measurements. The SX50 HS comes with the tinier sensor which should make obtaining shallower DOF more difficult. The younger SX50 HS is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
