Sometimes, its hard to visualise the gap between sensor sizes merely by reviewing technical specs. The picture underneath should offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SD1200 IS and Fujifilm X20.
As you can tell, each of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The SD1200 IS because of its tinier sensor will make getting shallow depth of field tougher and the Fujifilm X20 will deliver greater detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop photos far more aggressively. The more aged SD1200 IS is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
