Normally, its tough to see the contrast between sensor measurements only by going over technical specs. The visual below might offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX700 HS and Fujifilm S1500.

As you can tell, both of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Canon SX700 HS to offer more detail utilizing its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more recent SX700 HS will have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
