Plainly, each of these cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Canon ELPH 135 to result in greater detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images way more aggressively. The more modern ELPH 135 is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
