Sometimes, it is very hard to see the difference between sensor dimensions just by reading specs. The picture underneath might offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the SX50 HS and Fujifilm T550.
All in all, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Fujifilm T550 to deliver extra detail having its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures much more aggressively.
