All in all, both the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The S110 using its bigger sensor will make getting bokeh less difficult and the Canon SX740 HS will show extra detail because of its extra 9 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots more aggressively. The more aged S110 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
