Plainly, both of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the FujiFilm S3200 to offer you more detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The younger SX50 HS is going to have an advantage in sensor technology.
