Quite often, it is very tough to imagine the contrast between sensor measurements simply by checking specifications. The graphic underneath should give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the L120 and L830.

Plainly, both of these cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit different megapixels. You can expect the Nikon L830 to resolve more detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The older L120 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
