Usually, it's hard to imagine the difference in sensor sizes just by researching a spec sheet. The image here might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the SX730 HS and Fujifilm F500 EXR.

Clearly, both of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The SX730 HS using its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF tougher and the Canon SX730 HS will render extra detail with its extra 4.3MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The younger SX730 HS should have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
