Typically, it is very tough to imagine the difference in sensor dimensions only by viewing a spec sheet. The picture below may give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the S4000 and P510.

Clearly, both cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit different MP. You can count on the Nikon P510 to provide you with greater detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more aged S4000 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
