Plainly, each of these cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The SX740 HS using its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Canon SX740 HS will resolve extra detail having an extra 5MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos a little more aggressively. The more recent SX740 HS is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
