Generally, it can be tough to imagine the difference between sensor dimensions purely by reading a spec sheet. The image here will offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the SX710 HS and HX30V.

Clearly, each of these cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit different megapixels. You should count on the Canon SX710 HS to deliver more detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots more aggressively. The younger SX710 HS provides a benefit in sensor innovation.
