More often than not, it is difficult to envision the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by looking through a spec sheet. The image here will help give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the G16 and S200.

Clearly, both of these cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Canon G16 to result in more detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images a good deal more aggressively.
