Normally, it's tough to picture the gap in sensor dimensions only by going through a spec sheet. The pic below will help offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the A2200 and SX10 IS.

As you can see, the two cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit different MP. You should expect the Canon A2200 to show more detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The younger A2200 should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
