As you can see, both cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Canon SX70 HS to render more detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos far more aggressively. The newer SX70 HS is going to have a benefit in sensor tech.
