Typically, it can be difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by reading through technical specs. The image here may give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the V-Lux 40 and P600.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but different megapixels. You should anticipate the Nikon P600 to give you greater detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics more aggressively. The more aged V-Lux 40 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
