Usually, it is very tough to picture the contrast in sensor sizing purely by seeing a spec sheet. The photograph here might provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX530 HS and Fujifilm S4500.

Clearly, the 2 cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit different megapixels. You should count on the Canon SX530 HS to produce extra detail due to its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The fresher SX530 HS provides a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
