More often than not, it's tough to visualise the gap between sensor sizes simply by going over a spec sheet. The picture here will give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the A495 and A810.

As you can see, both of those cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Canon A810 to offer you greater detail having its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images far more aggressively. The more aged A495 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
