More often than not, it can be difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor dimensions simply by seeing specifications. The picture below may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the SX230 HS and SX730 HS.

To sum up, both of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Canon SX730 HS to show extra detail using its extra 8.3MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos far more aggressively. The more aged SX230 HS will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
