To sum up, both the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Canon A1400 to render extra detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The newer A1400 is going to have a benefit in sensor technology.
