Normally, its tough to see the gap in sensor measurements purely by going through technical specs. The visual here will offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the A2500 and S200.

As you have seen, both of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The A2500 featuring a smaller sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field more difficult and the Canon A2500 will produce greater detail having its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The older A2500 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
