Usually, it's tough to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing just by checking out technical specs. The photograph underneath should provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the SX220 HS and L830.

As you can tell, both the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Nikon L830 to provide greater detail because of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots a little more aggressively. The older SX220 HS will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
