Typically, its tough to visualise the gap between sensor measurements purely by going over a spec sheet. The photograph below should give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the SX700 HS and TS2.

Clearly, both of the cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Canon SX700 HS to deliver more detail with its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images way more aggressively. The more modern SX700 HS will have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
