In many cases, it's tough to see the difference in sensor dimensions merely by seeing technical specs. The pic underneath will provide you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX530 HS and SP-810 UZ.
As you can tell, both of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You can count on the Canon SX530 HS to show extra detail with its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will let you crop shots a little more aggressively. The newer SX530 HS is going to have an advantage in sensor innovation.
