All in all, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You can expect the Canon SX530 HS to offer greater detail because of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more recent SX530 HS is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
