As you can see, both of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Canon SX410 IS to result in greater detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics more aggressively. The older SX410 IS will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
