Sometimes, it can be hard to visualize the gap between sensor measurements purely by reading through specifications. The graphic here might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the SX530 HS and S2950.

To sum up, both of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit different MP. You should expect the Canon SX530 HS to give extra detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots a little more aggressively. The more modern SX530 HS should have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
