Quite often, it can be difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by seeing a spec sheet. The pic below might offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX530 HS and S200EXR.

Clearly, both cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The SX530 HS with its smaller sensor will make achieving bokeh trickier and the Canon SX530 HS will provide greater detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots way more aggressively. The more modern SX530 HS will have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
