Typically, it is hard to envision the gap in sensor measurements only by checking out technical specs. The photograph below should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the SX600 HS and Fujifilm S4200.

As you have seen, both of these cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Canon SX600 HS to provide greater detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures way more aggressively. The newer SX600 HS will have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
