As you can see, both cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different MP. You can count on the Nikon B700 to resolve greater detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The fresher B700 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
