All in all, both cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The SX740 HS featuring a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Canon SX740 HS will result in extra detail having its extra 11 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more recent SX740 HS should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
