Oftentimes, its difficult to imagine the gap in sensor measurements purely by looking through technical specs. The visual below might offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm HS50 EXR and HX400V.

As you have seen, both the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm HS50 EXR having a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field simpler and the Sony HX400V will provide you with more detail with its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures way more aggressively. The older Fujifilm HS50 EXR will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
