Normally, its difficult to picture the gap in sensor dimensions purely by going through technical specs. The pic below might provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the S3200 and P530.

As you have seen, each of these cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit different resolution. You should count on the Nikon P530 to provide greater detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop shots a little more aggressively. The more aged S3200 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
