In many cases, it's difficult to envision the contrast between sensor sizes purely by reviewing technical specs. The pic here should offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the ELPH 360 HS and SX740 HS.

As you can tell, both the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Canon SX740 HS to offer you greater detail due to its extra 1MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics far more aggressively. The more aged ELPH 360 HS is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
