Normally, it is very tough to visualise the difference in sensor measurements merely by viewing a spec sheet. The photograph underneath might offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the SX710 HS and WB250F.

Clearly, each of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Canon SX710 HS to render greater detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The younger SX710 HS will have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
