Taking into account size and weight, the portability score of the SX50 HS and Fujifilm F750EXR is 65 and 90 respectively.

Usually, it can be tough to picture the gap in sensor sizing only by viewing technical specs. The graphic underneath might provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the SX50 HS and Fujifilm F750EXR.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The SX50 HS using its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF more difficult and the Fujifilm F750EXR will render extra detail with its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The younger SX50 HS should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
