Normally, it is very difficult to envision the contrast between sensor dimensions simply by reading through technical specs. The picture here should give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the M340 and S4000.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Nikon S4000 to give extra detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics far more aggressively. The more aged M340 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
