Oftentimes, its tough to envision the contrast between sensor sizing purely by going over a spec sheet. The visual below might give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the SX730 HS and V-Lux 30.

Clearly, both of those cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Canon SX730 HS to deliver extra detail having its extra 6.3MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures way more aggressively. The fresher SX730 HS is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
