Sometimes, it is very difficult to visualise the gap in sensor measurements only by checking out specs. The visual below will help offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the SX720 HS and Fujifilm SL1000.

As you can plainly see, both of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You can count on the Canon SX720 HS to produce extra detail due to its extra 4.3MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures much more aggressively. The more recent SX720 HS is going to have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
