In many cases, it is very tough to visualize the difference in sensor sizes purely by going through technical specs. The pic below may give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the SX710 HS and HS20 EXR.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The SX710 HS because of its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field tougher and the Canon SX710 HS will show extra detail due to its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more modern SX710 HS provides an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
