Usually, it is difficult to imagine the difference between sensor measurements merely by reviewing technical specs. The photograph here will offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the SX720 HS and NX11.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The SX720 HS because of its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field trickier and the Canon SX720 HS will deliver greater detail as a result of its extra 5.3 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots a little more aggressively. The younger SX720 HS should have an edge in sensor innovation.
