Normally, it can be hard to visualise the gap in sensor sizing just by viewing technical specs. The visual below should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the SX50 HS and HS10.

As you can tell, both of those cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same MP. You can expect the Canon SX50 HS to result in greater detail having an extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more recent SX50 HS is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
