Clearly, the 2 cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The S120 due to its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF easier and the Canon S120 will deliver greater detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots a little more aggressively. The more modern S120 provides an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
