Usually, it can be tough to envision the contrast between sensor dimensions simply by reading through specifications. The picture below might provide you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the SX70 HS and SX730 HS.

To sum up, both of these cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Canon SX730 HS to resolve more detail because of its extra 0.3 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more recent SX70 HS will have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
