In many cases, it is very difficult to envision the contrast in sensor sizing simply by checking out a spec sheet. The graphic underneath might offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX710 HS and G700SE.

Clearly, both of these cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Canon SX710 HS to produce extra detail having its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics more aggressively. The more recent SX710 HS is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
