More often than not, it is hard to see the difference between sensor measurements simply by looking at a spec sheet. The photograph below might give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the SX730 HS and FE-47.

Clearly, both the cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Canon SX730 HS to give you more detail having its extra 6.3 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The fresher SX730 HS is going to have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
