Sometimes, it's hard to see the gap between sensor dimensions just by looking at specs. The pic here will help give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the SX410 IS and SZ-30MR.
All in all, both of these cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Canon SX410 IS to give greater detail because of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The younger SX410 IS is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
