Typically, it's difficult to picture the gap in sensor dimensions simply by checking out technical specs. The image underneath may provide you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the SX220 HS and SP-565UZ.

As you can tell, the two cameras come with the identical sensor size but different megapixels. You should anticipate the Canon SX220 HS to show more detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more recent SX220 HS should have an advantage in sensor technology.
