Usually, it is difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor sizes only by looking through a spec sheet. The image here will provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the SX740 HS and Fujifilm X20.

Clearly, both of these cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The SX740 HS featuring a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more difficult and the Canon SX740 HS will result in more detail due to its extra 9 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more modern SX740 HS should have a benefit in sensor technology.
