As you can plainly see, both of the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The S4000 using its smaller sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field more difficult and the Nikon D7100 will provide you with more detail having an extra 10MP. Greater resolution will help you crop images a little more aggressively. The older S4000 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
