In many cases, it can be tough to imagine the contrast in sensor sizes only by seeing specifications. The picture below may offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the L19 and L20.

To sum up, both of those cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The L19 because of its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field trickier and the Nikon L20 will produce extra detail due to its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots a little more aggressively.
