Often, it can be tough to imagine the contrast between sensor sizes just by reading a spec sheet. The image below may provide you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm HS35EXR and SZ-11.
Clearly, each of these cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm HS35EXR using its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Fujifilm HS35EXR will offer you greater detail with its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots a little more aggressively. The fresher Fujifilm HS35EXR should have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
