All in all, each of the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The SX70 HS using its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field harder and the Canon SX70 HS will render extra detail because of its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The younger SX70 HS will have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
