As you can see, the 2 cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The 450D using its larger sensor is going to make achieving bokeh easier and the Canon SX70 HS will provide extra detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics far more aggressively. The more aged 450D will be behind in sensor technology.
