In many cases, it's hard to visualise the difference in sensor dimensions only by checking out technical specs. The picture here will offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the M380 and S80.

As you have seen, both of those cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Nikon S80 to show extra detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images a bit more aggressively. The more aged M380 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
