To sum up, the two cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The SX510 HS due to its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field harder and the Fujifilm F900EXR will provide more detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The more recent SX510 HS provides a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
