Quite often, it can be hard to visualize the difference in sensor sizing merely by seeing technical specs. The graphic here should offer you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the L19 and S6200.

As you can tell, each of these cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The L19 using its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the Nikon S6200 will produce extra detail having an extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos much more aggressively. The older L19 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
