More often than not, it's difficult to visualise the difference in sensor dimensions only by going through technical specs. The picture here may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX730 HS and Fujifilm F600 EXR.

As you can tell, each of these cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The SX730 HS using its smaller sensor will make getting shallow DOF more challenging and the Canon SX730 HS will provide more detail with its extra 4.3 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures more aggressively. The more recent SX730 HS is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
