As you have seen, each of these cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The A1400 with its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF more difficult and the Canon A1400 will provide greater detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures far more aggressively. The more recent A1400 should have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
