As you can tell, both the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Canon SX710 HS to provide you with greater detail with its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The newer SX710 HS will have an edge in sensor technology.
