Quite often, it's difficult to see the gap between sensor dimensions purely by reading through a spec sheet. The pic here might give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the SX50 HS and S810c.

Clearly, both the cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Nikon S810c to resolve more detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged SX50 HS is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
