Clearly, both of those cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The SX510 HS with its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field tougher and the Canon SX510 HS will deliver greater detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots way more aggressively. The more recent SX510 HS provides an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
