As you have seen, each of these cameras have different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The SX160 IS with its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF trickier and the Canon SX160 IS will offer you greater detail using its extra 13MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The younger SX160 IS should have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
