Usually, it is very difficult to visualise the gap in sensor sizing only by going through a spec sheet. The visual below should give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Z915 and S8200.

Clearly, the 2 cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Nikon S8200 to show more detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs far more aggressively. The older Z915 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
