As you can see, both of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The SX530 HS due to its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Canon SX530 HS will offer you extra detail due to its extra 10MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more recent SX530 HS should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
