As you can plainly see, both the cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The C140 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF more difficult and the Nikon L28 will result in greater detail due to its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images more aggressively. The more aged C140 will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
