As you have seen, both the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Nikon A900 to provide greater detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged S3200 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
