Plainly, both of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Canon 160 to resolve extra detail because of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs much more aggressively. The more recent 160 is going to have an advantage in sensor tech.
