More often than not, it's difficult to picture the contrast in sensor sizing purely by seeing a spec sheet. The visual here should provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the SX710 HS and P510.

As you can see, both cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different resolution. You should expect to see the Canon SX710 HS to produce greater detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will help you crop pics much more aggressively. The more modern SX710 HS provides an advantage in sensor innovation.
