Clearly, the two cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Canon SX720 HS to provide you with greater detail as a result of its extra 4.3MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The younger SX720 HS will have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
