Often, it is hard to visualize the contrast in sensor dimensions just by looking through specs. The picture below may offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the SX50 HS and Fujifilm F500 EXR.

All in all, the two cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The SX50 HS having a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field tougher and the Fujifilm F500 EXR will provide you with more detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The fresher SX50 HS should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
