Typically, it's difficult to see the difference between sensor sizes only by going over specifications. The picture underneath will help offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the SX220 HS and Fujifilm S1.

Plainly, both of those cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Fujifilm S1 to offer you greater detail with its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will let you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged SX220 HS is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
