Oftentimes, its hard to envision the contrast between sensor dimensions simply by reviewing specs. The pic here will provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the SX520 HS and Fujifilm JX500.
All in all, both of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Canon SX520 HS to deliver extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop photos far more aggressively. The younger SX520 HS will have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
