Normally, it is very difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor measurements merely by looking through specs. The photograph below should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the Elph 115 IS and ST600.
As you can plainly see, both of those cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit different resolution. You should expect the Canon Elph 115 IS to provide you with greater detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots more aggressively.
