Plainly, both of those cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The C140 using its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF harder and the Panasonic XS1 will provide greater detail having an extra 8MP. Greater resolution will help you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The older C140 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
