In many cases, it is hard to see the difference in sensor dimensions purely by seeing a spec sheet. The image below will help give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the SX740 HS and Fujifilm S9900w.

Clearly, the two cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Canon SX740 HS to produce greater detail as a result of its extra 5 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics far more aggressively. The newer SX740 HS will have an edge in sensor tech.
