All in all, both of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The A2200 using its smaller sensor will make achieving shallow DOF more challenging and the Canon A2200 will provide more detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots way more aggressively. The older A2200 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
