More often than not, it's difficult to envision the difference between sensor dimensions purely by looking at a spec sheet. The pic underneath will offer you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the M380 and L31.

As you can see, each of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Nikon L31 to give you more detail with its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos more aggressively. The more aged M380 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
