Below you can see the SX720 HS and SX410 IS sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Canon SX720 HS and Canon SX410 IS Cameras
Canon SX720 HS and Canon SX410 IS have the same sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture.
Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Canon SX720 HS
or the
Canon SX410 IS ,
including hyperfocal distance.
