Normally, it can be tough to imagine the difference between sensor sizing only by going over specs. The graphic underneath will offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the SX530 HS and Fujifilm S4200.
As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but different megapixels. You can anticipate the Canon SX530 HS to offer you extra detail with its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos a little more aggressively. The newer SX530 HS should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
