More often than not, it can be hard to imagine the difference between sensor measurements merely by reading specifications. The graphic here may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the SX730 HS and fp L.

Plainly, both of the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The SX730 HS using its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF trickier and the Sigma fp L will offer greater detail having an extra 40.7 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots far more aggressively. The older SX730 HS is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
