Plainly, both the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Canon SX720 HS to produce more detail because of its extra 8.3 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures more aggressively. The fresher SX720 HS is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
