Typically, its difficult to visualise the gap in sensor sizes simply by researching a spec sheet. The picture here will help offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the B600 and P80.

As you can see, both of those cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Nikon B600 to provide you with greater detail due to its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The fresher B600 will have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
