More often than not, it is very hard to envision the contrast in sensor dimensions merely by viewing technical specs. The picture underneath should give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the SX740 HS and S200EXR.

As you have seen, each of these cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The SX740 HS with its smaller sensor will make achieving bokeh more challenging and the Canon SX740 HS will provide you with greater detail having an extra 9MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop images a little more aggressively. The more recent SX740 HS will have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
