Sometimes, it is very tough to visualise the difference between sensor dimensions simply by looking at specifications. The pic below should give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm SL300 and P600.

Plainly, both of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Nikon P600 to resolve extra detail due to its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will let you crop images a bit more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm SL300 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
