Normally, its hard to imagine the gap in sensor measurements purely by researching a spec sheet. The graphic here might give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the SX530 HS and Fujifilm JZ100.

Clearly, both of the cameras feature the identical sensor size but different megapixels. You should expect to see the Canon SX530 HS to provide you with extra detail using its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics way more aggressively. The more recent SX530 HS should have an advantage in sensor innovation.
