Oftentimes, it is very difficult to picture the contrast in sensor measurements purely by checking out technical specs. The graphic underneath should provide you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the SX700 HS and Fujifilm X-S1.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The SX700 HS because of its smaller sensor is going to make getting bokeh more difficult and the Canon SX700 HS will produce greater detail due to its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures way more aggressively. The younger SX700 HS should have an advantage in sensor tech.
