Clearly, both of those cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The C140 because of its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow DOF trickier and the Pentax RZ18 will offer you more detail due to its extra 8MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images more aggressively. The older C140 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
