Clearly, each of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The SX220 HS because of its tinier sensor is going to make shooting bokeh trickier and the Canon SX220 HS will offer you extra detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures far more aggressively. The younger SX220 HS should have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
