Often, it's tough to visualise the difference in sensor measurements just by checking out a spec sheet. The graphic below may offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the SX710 HS and SX730 HS.

Clearly, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Canon SX730 HS to provide extra detail because of its extra 0.3MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The older SX710 HS will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
