Often, it is tough to see the contrast between sensor measurements just by reading specs. The graphic underneath will provide you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-Z400 and S4100.
As you can plainly see, the two cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Nikon S4100 to deliver greater detail utilizing its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The older EX-Z400 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
