Oftentimes, its tough to envision the contrast in sensor sizes simply by seeing a spec sheet. The picture underneath might offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the SX130 IS and C.
Clearly, both of those cameras come with the identical resolution but not the same sensor sizes. The SX130 IS features the smaller sensor which should make achieving shallower depth of field tougher. The more aged SX130 IS will be behind in sensor technology.
