Plainly, both of the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The SX700 HS with its smaller sensor is going to make getting bokeh more challenging and the Canon SX700 HS will render greater detail having an extra 11 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos far more aggressively. The newer SX700 HS should have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
