Clearly, each of the cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The L19 using its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field trickier and the Nikon S3600 will deliver greater detail with its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos more aggressively. The more aged L19 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
