Clearly, each of the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The S200EXR featuring a bigger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Nikon A900 will offer greater detail utilizing its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The older S200EXR is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
