Generally, its hard to see the gap in sensor sizing purely by seeing technical specs. The visual below might offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the SX510 HS and FZ28.

As you have seen, both of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Canon SX510 HS to produce more detail due to its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more recent SX510 HS will have an edge in sensor innovation.
