The SX120 IS because of its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF more difficult and the FujiFilm JV200 will produce extra detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images far more aggressively. The older SX120 IS will be behind in sensor tech.
