Oftentimes, its tough to see the contrast between sensor measurements only by checking a spec sheet. The graphic here might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the 650D and SX710 HS.

Clearly, each of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 650D because of its larger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF simpler and the Canon SX710 HS will give you more detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The older 650D is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
