As you can tell, both of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Nikon S6400 to resolve greater detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z35 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
