As you can see, both of these cameras feature the identical sensor size but different MP. You should expect to see the Nikon P600 to provide you with more detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images way more aggressively. The more aged S2500HD will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
