All in all, the two cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Canon SX740 HS to deliver greater detail with its extra 5 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images much more aggressively. The newer SX740 HS will have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
