Oftentimes, its difficult to visualize the gap between sensor dimensions merely by checking a spec sheet. The image here might offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the ELPH 130 and T99.

Clearly, each of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but different resolution. You should anticipate the Canon ELPH 130 to give you greater detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images more aggressively. The younger ELPH 130 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
