The SX710 HS was revealed 3 years before the SX730 HS and that is a fairly large gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both the cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before we go into a step-by-step comparison, here is a short overview of how the SX710 HS scores against the SX730 HS in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you use during that time. Below is a front view over all size comparison of the SX710 HS compared to the SX730 HS.

Considering size and weight, the portability rating of the SX710 HS and SX730 HS is 89 and 88 respectively.

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.
