Quite often, it can be tough to visualize the gap between sensor measurements only by going over a spec sheet. The photograph below will provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX510 HS and Fujifilm S5 Pro.

As you can see, the two cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The SX510 HS with its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field more difficult and the Canon SX510 HS will offer you more detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more modern SX510 HS provides a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
