Generally, its difficult to envision the difference between sensor measurements just by reading specifications. The photograph here will help give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the L120 and S810c.

To sum up, each of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Nikon S810c to deliver greater detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older L120 is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
