Quite often, its hard to imagine the gap in sensor sizing just by researching technical specs. The photograph below will help give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the S200 and R-D1.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The S200 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Canon S200 will provide you with greater detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos a little more aggressively. The newer S200 should have an edge in sensor innovation.
