Often, it can be difficult to see the contrast between sensor sizing purely by checking specifications. The visual here might offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the ELPH 510 HS and S200.

Plainly, both cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The ELPH 510 HS due to its tinier sensor will make getting shallower DOF tougher and the Canon ELPH 510 HS will resolve greater detail due to its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will help you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The older ELPH 510 HS is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
