Typically, it's tough to picture the contrast between sensor measurements simply by going over a spec sheet. The visual underneath will offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the SX740 HS and EX2F.

As you can see, each of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The SX740 HS with its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF tougher and the Canon SX740 HS will deliver extra detail having an extra 9 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The fresher SX740 HS should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
