Normally, it's hard to visualise the difference between sensor dimensions purely by reading specs. The image here will provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the S1600 and S810c.

All in all, each of the cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Nikon S810c to offer greater detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots way more aggressively. The more aged S1600 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
