The SX240 HS having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF tougher and the Canon SX240 HS will offer you more detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos way more aggressively. The more modern SX240 HS provides a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
