Clearly, both of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different megapixels. You should expect the Canon SX710 HS to give extra detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The younger SX710 HS should have a benefit in sensor tech.
