As you can tell, the two cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The SD1300 IS using its smaller sensor will make achieving shallower DOF more difficult and the Leica M-E Typ 220 will provide you with extra detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs far more aggressively. The older SD1300 IS will be behind in sensor innovation.
