Clearly, each of these cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Canon SX730 HS to provide more detail as a result of its extra 6.3MP. Greater resolution will let you crop images way more aggressively. The younger SX730 HS is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
