As you can tell, both of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Nikon S1200pj to provide more detail due to its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The older Z70 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
