The Mini was unveiled 5 years prior to the L31 and that is quite a significant difference as far as tech is concerned. Each of these cameras have the same body design (Ultracompact).

Before diving into a in-depth comparison, here is a concise highlight of how the Mini scores vs the L31 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

When you are looking to carry your camera frequently, you're going to have to factor in its weight and size.

Oftentimes, it can be tough to picture the gap between sensor sizing purely by checking a spec sheet. The photograph here might offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the Mini and L31.

Clearly, both of the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Mini having a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF trickier and the Nikon L31 will give you extra detail having an extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots more aggressively. The older Mini is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
