Often, it is very hard to see the contrast between sensor sizes merely by checking specifications. The picture below may provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the M320 and S70.

Plainly, each of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The M320 featuring a tinier sensor will make getting shallow depth of field trickier and the Nikon S70 will resolve extra detail due to its extra 3 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively.
