Quite often, it is very tough to envision the difference in sensor sizing merely by seeing technical specs. The photograph here will help give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the SX710 HS and SL202.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Canon SX710 HS to produce more detail as a result of its extra 10MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more modern SX710 HS will have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
