To sum up, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Nikon S4000 to resolve more detail because of its extra 3 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more aged EX-FS10 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
