Plainly, both the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The D-LUX 5 because of its larger sensor will make getting bokeh easier and the Nikon S6000 will deliver extra detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos much more aggressively. The fresher D-LUX 5 will have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
