More often than not, it is hard to picture the contrast in sensor sizes merely by seeing specifications. The image below will help offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the SX740 HS and F300EXR.

To sum up, both cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The SX740 HS having a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Canon SX740 HS will show greater detail having an extra 9 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The fresher SX740 HS provides a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
