Normally, it is difficult to envision the difference between sensor measurements merely by reading through a spec sheet. The graphic here may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the SX540 HS and JZ300.

Clearly, both of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Canon SX540 HS to give you greater detail having an extra 8MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots much more aggressively. The fresher SX540 HS will have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
