Usually, its hard to picture the gap between sensor dimensions only by looking at specifications. The pic here should give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the SX150 IS and MX-1.

Plainly, both of these cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The SX150 IS featuring a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF harder and the Canon SX150 IS will resolve greater detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images much more aggressively. The more aged SX150 IS is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
