As you can tell, both of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The ELPH 140 IS having a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Canon ELPH 140 IS will provide more detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The younger ELPH 140 IS provides an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
