Typically, it can be difficult to see the contrast in sensor measurements simply by looking through a spec sheet. The graphic here might offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the M341 and P610.

As you can see, both of those cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Nikon P610 to provide you with extra detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The older M341 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
