Often, it can be tough to visualize the contrast between sensor sizing just by going over specifications. The graphic below may give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the SX730 HS and P310.

Plainly, both of these cameras feature the identical sensor size but different resolution. You should anticipate the Canon SX730 HS to offer you extra detail because of its extra 4.3MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop images way more aggressively. The newer SX730 HS should have an advantage in sensor innovation.
