Generally, it is tough to visualize the contrast in sensor measurements only by looking through specs. The graphic below will offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the C140 and S2000.

As you can plainly see, both of the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The C140 due to its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Sony S2000 will result in greater detail utilizing its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images a bit more aggressively. The older C140 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
