Oftentimes, it can be hard to imagine the gap between sensor dimensions purely by checking technical specs. The image here will help give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the SX740 HS and Fujifilm F800EXR.

As you have seen, both cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The SX740 HS with its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more difficult and the Canon SX740 HS will give more detail with its extra 5 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more recent SX740 HS provides an advantage in sensor innovation.
