Plainly, both cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The SX120 IS using its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field harder and the Canon SX120 IS will give more detail having an extra 1MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures more aggressively. The newer SX120 IS should have an advantage in sensor technology.
