Sometimes, it is hard to visualize the gap in sensor measurements just by checking out technical specs. The graphic here will give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the SX530 HS and EX-Z270.

As you can tell, both the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The SX530 HS due to its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF less difficult and the Canon SX530 HS will produce extra detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more modern SX530 HS should have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
