Generally, it is very difficult to visualise the gap between sensor sizing simply by looking at a spec sheet. The visual below will give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the L100 and S3300.

As you can see, both of those cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Nikon S3300 to give you extra detail having an extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos more aggressively. The older L100 is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
