Often, it's tough to see the contrast between sensor dimensions just by looking at technical specs. The picture underneath may give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the L120 and P330.

As you can tell, both cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The L120 using its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field trickier and the Nikon L120 will give you more detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots a little more aggressively. The more aged L120 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
