As you can tell, both cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Nikon S9500 to provide you with greater detail having an extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The older S1800 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
