Sometimes, it is hard to visualise the gap between sensor measurements merely by looking at specs. The photograph below will help provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the L110 and GR Digital IV.

As you can plainly see, both the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The L110 because of its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF more difficult and the Nikon L110 will give you extra detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older L110 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
