Generally, its difficult to visualize the difference between sensor sizes merely by reading through technical specs. The image here might offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the A2100 IS and SX720 HS.

As you can tell, both of those cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit different MP. You should count on the Canon SX720 HS to give extra detail having its extra 8.3 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures way more aggressively. The more aged A2100 IS is going to be behind in sensor tech.
