The S4000 was released 6 years earlier than the B500 which is quite a large difference as far as tech is concerned. Each of the cameras offer the identical body type (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before we go through a detailed comparison, below is a short introduction of how the S4000 scores versus the B500 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

If you are aiming to carry around your camera often, you will have to factor in its weight and dimensions.

In many cases, it can be hard to visualise the difference between sensor sizes just by reading through specifications. The picture here should provide you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the S4000 and B500.

Plainly, both cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You can count on the Nikon B500 to give you greater detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The more aged S4000 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
