Often, its difficult to visualise the difference in sensor sizing only by checking out technical specs. The visual underneath should offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the S1600 and P950.

As you can tell, both the cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Nikon P950 to show more detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics way more aggressively. The older S1600 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
