Quite often, its difficult to visualize the difference between sensor measurements purely by reviewing a spec sheet. The visual underneath should give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the SX70 HS and EX-100.

As you can see, each of the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The SX70 HS featuring a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field tougher and the Canon SX70 HS will offer you more detail as a result of its extra 8MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The younger SX70 HS should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
