Quite often, it is difficult to imagine the gap in sensor sizes purely by viewing specifications. The image below may provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the C and L810.

Plainly, both of these cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The C because of its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Nikon L810 will provide you with more detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will let you crop photos way more aggressively. The more modern C provides a benefit in sensor innovation.
