Oftentimes, it can be difficult to picture the difference between sensor measurements merely by reading technical specs. The graphic underneath will offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the SX230 HS and GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC.
As you have seen, both the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The SX230 HS with its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF tougher and the Canon SX230 HS will offer greater detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots far more aggressively. The fresher SX230 HS should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
