More often than not, it's difficult to envision the contrast between sensor measurements merely by reviewing a spec sheet. The graphic here will help offer you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the SX710 HS and Z5120.

Clearly, each of these cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Canon SX710 HS to offer more detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos way more aggressively. The newer SX710 HS is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
