The SX520 HS was introduced 2 years later than the Fujifilm SL300 and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of these cameras come with different body type with the Canon SX520 HS being a Compact camera and the Fujifilm SL300 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before diving through a in-depth comparison, below is a concise synopsis of how the SX520 HS scores vs the Fujifilm SL300 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Oftentimes, it can be tough to visualise the gap in sensor sizing purely by going through technical specs. The visual here may give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the SX520 HS and Fujifilm SL300.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Canon SX520 HS to show greater detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more recent SX520 HS is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
