Often, it's tough to envision the gap in sensor sizes just by seeing a spec sheet. The pic underneath should give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the A1000 and L120.

Clearly, both the cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Nikon A1000 to produce greater detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will let you crop shots way more aggressively. The more recent A1000 will have an advantage in sensor tech.
