Typically, it is very hard to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions only by reading a spec sheet. The image below will help provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the SX730 HS and EX-ZR800.
As you can see, both of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Canon SX730 HS to offer you more detail because of its extra 4.3MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots far more aggressively. The fresher SX730 HS is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
