Quite often, it's hard to visualize the contrast in sensor measurements merely by viewing a spec sheet. The graphic underneath will help give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the SX240 HS and SD14.

Clearly, both of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The SX240 HS because of its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Canon SX240 HS will render extra detail as a result of its extra 7MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots way more aggressively. The more modern SX240 HS provides an edge in sensor innovation.
