The SX520 HS was released 2 years later than the Fujifilm F660EXR and that is quite a serious gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of these cameras offer the identical body type (Compact).

Before we go in to a detailed comparison, below is a concise highlight of how the SX520 HS grades vs the Fujifilm F660EXR in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Often, its hard to visualise the gap between sensor sizing just by checking a spec sheet. The photograph here should provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the SX520 HS and Fujifilm F660EXR.

Clearly, each of the cameras offer the same exact MP albeit not the same sensor sizing. The SX520 HS offers the tinier sensor which should make getting bokeh harder. The more modern SX520 HS will have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
