Typically, it can be difficult to picture the difference in sensor sizes merely by viewing specs. The image underneath will help give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the SX540 HS and Fujifilm X-A7.

All in all, the 2 cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The SX540 HS having a smaller sensor is going to make achieving bokeh trickier and the Fujifilm X-A7 will result in extra detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics more aggressively. The more aged SX540 HS will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
