Normally, it's hard to imagine the difference in sensor sizing just by researching a spec sheet. The graphic below will provide you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the ELPH 310 HS and FS7.

Clearly, both of those cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The ELPH 310 HS having a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Canon ELPH 310 HS will render more detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The younger ELPH 310 HS should have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
