As you can see, each of the cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The SX700 HS with its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field trickier and the Canon SX700 HS will render more detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots a little more aggressively. The fresher SX700 HS will have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
