The SX120 IS was introduced 6 years before the SX410 IS which is quite a big gap as far as tech is concerned. Both cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before going through a more detailed comparison, below is a short summary of how the SX120 IS matches up vs the SX410 IS when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a preview of the gallery images for Canon PowerShot SX120 IS and Canon PowerShot SX410 IS. The whole galleries are viewable at Canon SX120 IS Gallery and Canon SX410 IS Gallery.

Generally, it can be tough to picture the gap between sensor sizes only by reading specifications. The image below should give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the SX120 IS and SX410 IS.

Plainly, the 2 cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The SX120 IS having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF harder and the Canon SX410 IS will offer you greater detail using its extra 10MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs much more aggressively. The more aged SX120 IS is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
