Quite often, it's difficult to visualise the difference in sensor measurements merely by going through specifications. The graphic below may provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the S2950 and L610.

Plainly, both the cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Nikon L610 to produce more detail using its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The older S2950 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
