Oftentimes, it can be hard to picture the gap in sensor measurements merely by viewing a spec sheet. The photograph underneath will help give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the SX710 HS and EX-100.

As you can see, both of the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The SX710 HS having a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field more challenging and the Canon SX710 HS will render more detail having an extra 8MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots way more aggressively. The fresher SX710 HS provides an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
