To sum up, each of these cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 160 having a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Canon 160 will deliver more detail with its extra 11 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more recent 160 provides an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
