Nikon L19 vs Nikon S3500 Sensor Comparison
Oftentimes, its hard to visualize the difference in sensor sizes purely by viewing specifications. The image below may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the L19 and S3500.
Plainly, the two cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The L19 due to its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF harder and the Nikon S3500 will render greater detail having its extra 12MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more aged L19 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
