Sometimes, it is difficult to visualize the difference in sensor sizes only by looking through a spec sheet. The picture below will help offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the SX610 HS and fp L.

As you can see, each of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The SX610 HS with its smaller sensor is going to make getting bokeh more difficult and the Sigma fp L will result in extra detail using its extra 41 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more aged SX610 HS will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
