In many cases, it is very hard to envision the gap in sensor sizes purely by researching technical specs. The image below may offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the SX240 HS and GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC.
As you have seen, the two cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The SX240 HS using its smaller sensor will make getting shallow DOF harder and the Canon SX240 HS will provide you with more detail with its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots more aggressively. The younger SX240 HS will have a benefit in sensor technology.
