Generally, it can be tough to visualise the difference between sensor measurements purely by checking specs. The visual here might give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX740 HS and C.

As you can plainly see, both cameras have different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The SX740 HS using its tinier sensor will make getting bokeh trickier and the Canon SX740 HS will give greater detail using its extra 9 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more modern SX740 HS is going to have a benefit in sensor technology.
