Typically, it is tough to picture the difference in sensor dimensions merely by seeing technical specs. The image here may provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the SX740 HS and DP2 Quattro.

As you can tell, each of the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The SX740 HS because of its smaller sensor is going to make getting bokeh trickier and the Canon SX740 HS will show extra detail due to its extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more recent SX740 HS should have an advantage in sensor innovation.
