Oftentimes, it's tough to envision the contrast in sensor sizes purely by checking out a spec sheet. The picture below will offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the SX220 HS and S3200.

Clearly, both of those cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the FujiFilm S3200 to provide more detail using its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos much more aggressively.
