Quite often, it is very difficult to see the contrast between sensor sizes purely by reading a spec sheet. The pic underneath may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the SX710 HS and Fujifilm SL1000.

Clearly, both the cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same MP. You can count on the Canon SX710 HS to deliver extra detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The younger SX710 HS is going to have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
