Clearly, both cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Canon SD1300 IS to provide greater detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more recent SD1300 IS will have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
