All in all, each of these cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same megapixels. You can count on the Canon SX70 HS to give more detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop shots a little more aggressively. The younger SX70 HS will have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
