More often than not, it is very difficult to visualize the gap in sensor sizes just by seeing technical specs. The image here will help give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the S1800 and L840.
As you have seen, each of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit different MP. You can expect the Nikon L840 to provide greater detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more aged S1800 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
