All in all, both of these cameras have different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The SX50 HS with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Canon SX50 HS will provide more detail with its extra 9 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop images a bit more aggressively. The more modern SX50 HS provides an edge in sensor technology.
