In many cases, it is very tough to envision the contrast in sensor sizing purely by going through specifications. The photograph here should offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the A1000 and P7700.

Plainly, both cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The A1000 having a smaller sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Nikon A1000 will provide greater detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The younger A1000 is going to have an advantage in sensor technology.
