Sometimes, it is very hard to see the gap between sensor sizing only by going over specifications. The photograph underneath will help provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the 1000D and SX710 HS.

Plainly, both of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The 1000D featuring a bigger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Canon SX710 HS will deliver greater detail utilizing its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs far more aggressively. The older 1000D is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
