More often than not, its tough to imagine the gap between sensor dimensions only by reviewing specs. The pic here will help give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the SX130 IS and SX710 HS.
As you can plainly see, both of those cameras feature the identical sensor size but different resolution. You can anticipate the Canon SX710 HS to offer greater detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos way more aggressively. The more aged SX130 IS is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
