Canon SX510 HS vs Canon SX710 HS Sensor Comparison
Quite often, its tough to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes simply by seeing technical specs. The pic underneath should give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the SX510 HS and SX710 HS.
As you can tell, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Canon SX710 HS to produce more detail using its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will help you crop images much more aggressively. The more aged SX510 HS will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
