Sometimes, it's hard to visualize the gap between sensor sizing merely by reading through technical specs. The visual here should provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX600 HS and Fujifilm F500 EXR.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras feature the identical megapixel count albeit different sensor sizing. The SX600 HS uses the tinier sensor which is going to make achieving shallow DOF more challenging. The more recent SX600 HS should have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
