Sometimes, its difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes just by seeing a spec sheet. The picture below will offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the V-Lux 20 and L24.

Clearly, both the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Nikon L24 to produce extra detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots a little more aggressively. The more aged V-Lux 20 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
