Sometimes, it is very difficult to envision the difference in sensor measurements merely by going through specs. The photograph here will give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the SX50 HS and Fujifilm Real 3D W3.

As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Canon SX50 HS to provide extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more modern SX50 HS is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
