Often, it is tough to visualize the contrast in sensor dimensions only by researching technical specs. The picture underneath should offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the 160 and S4100.

As you can tell, both cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit different megapixels. You should expect the Canon 160 to provide you with more detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The younger 160 should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
