Sometimes, it can be hard to visualise the gap between sensor sizes merely by reading through specifications. The picture below might offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the SX540 HS and FZ28.

To sum up, both of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Canon SX540 HS to give extra detail using its extra 10MP. Greater resolution will help you crop images much more aggressively. The newer SX540 HS is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
