Oftentimes, it's difficult to visualise the gap in sensor sizing just by viewing a spec sheet. The photograph below will give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the S100 and L24.

Clearly, both of those cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The S100 because of its bigger sensor will make getting bokeh simpler and the Nikon L24 will result in more detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs more aggressively. The more recent S100 is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
