Sometimes, it is difficult to see the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by reading through technical specs. The picture underneath will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the A1000 and L28.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Nikon L28 to give greater detail because of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The fresher A1000 will have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
