Normally, it is very hard to picture the difference in sensor sizes only by going through a spec sheet. The pic here might offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX710 HS and ZR1.

As you can see, each of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit different megapixels. You can count on the Canon SX710 HS to produce greater detail having an extra 8MP. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The fresher SX710 HS should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
