To sum up, the 2 cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The SX50 HS with its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF more challenging and the Canon SX50 HS will produce extra detail because of its extra 7 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop pics a little more aggressively. The newer SX50 HS provides an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
