Clearly, each of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit different megapixels. You should expect the Canon 160 to provide you with greater detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots far more aggressively. The newer 160 should have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
