Often, its hard to imagine the contrast in sensor measurements simply by checking out technical specs. The photograph here will offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the A1200 and C140.

As you have seen, the two cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The A1200 using its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF less difficult and the Canon A1200 will show extra detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more modern A1200 provides an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
