Often, its hard to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing only by checking out a spec sheet. The photograph here might give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the ELPH 510 HS and FE-45.

Clearly, both cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You can count on the Canon ELPH 510 HS to produce greater detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The younger ELPH 510 HS is going to have an advantage in sensor technology.
