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.
