Quite often, it's hard to visualize the contrast in sensor measurements purely by viewing a spec sheet. The visual underneath should give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the SX730 HS and Fujifilm S4500.

As you can see, each of these cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but different megapixels. You should anticipate the Canon SX730 HS to render extra detail with its extra 6.3MP. Greater resolution will let you crop pics more aggressively. The younger SX730 HS provides a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
