Normally, it is difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor sizes only by going through a spec sheet. The pic here may provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the ELPH 150 IS and S1100pj.

Clearly, the two cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different resolution. You can expect the Canon ELPH 150 IS to produce extra detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more modern ELPH 150 IS provides a benefit in sensor technology.
