To sum up, both of those cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The C140 having a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF harder and the Panasonic SZ7 will result in greater detail because of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will help you crop shots way more aggressively. The more aged C140 will be behind in sensor technology.
