Typically, it is difficult to picture the contrast between sensor sizes simply by checking specifications. The image below should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the C140 and L24.

To sum up, the 2 cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The C140 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF more difficult and the Nikon L24 will give more detail having its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs far more aggressively. The more aged C140 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
