Oftentimes, it's tough to envision the contrast between sensor dimensions just by reading through technical specs. The picture underneath will help offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the L21 and S31.

As you have seen, each of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The L21 due to its larger sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field simpler and the Nikon S31 will give greater detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images more aggressively. The more aged L21 is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
