As you can tell, both the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The SX510 HS featuring a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field tougher and the Sigma fp will provide greater detail as a result of its extra 13MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures far more aggressively. The older SX510 HS will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
