All in all, the two cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The SX200 IS due to its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF more difficult and the Canon SX200 IS will give you more detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more modern SX200 IS should have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
