Sometimes, it is very difficult to visualise the gap between sensor measurements merely by going over a spec sheet. The visual here might give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX740 HS and EX-ZR1000.

Clearly, each of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Canon SX740 HS to offer you more detail because of its extra 5MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more modern SX740 HS is going to have an edge in sensor innovation.
