As you can tell, both of those cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The SX50 HS with its smaller sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field more difficult and the Fujifilm X-H1 will render more detail having an extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images far more aggressively. The more aged SX50 HS will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
