Clearly, the two cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The C140 because of its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field harder and the Nikon S9100 will deliver extra detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The older C140 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
