Quite often, it can be tough to envision the contrast between sensor sizes simply by reviewing a spec sheet. The pic underneath should give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the SX610 HS and Fujifilm S1.
Clearly, both the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Canon SX610 HS to offer you greater detail utilizing its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots far more aggressively. The newer SX610 HS will have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
