Normally, it's difficult to picture the gap in sensor dimensions merely by looking through a spec sheet. The pic underneath will offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the SX20 IS and GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC.
As you can see, each of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The SX20 IS using its smaller sensor is going to make getting bokeh more challenging and the Canon SX20 IS will result in extra detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots somewhat more aggressively.
