Often, it is hard to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes purely by looking through specifications. The pic here will give you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the L22 and SL202.

To sum up, both of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same MP. You can expect the Nikon L22 to provide you with greater detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures more aggressively. The more modern L22 will have a benefit in sensor innovation.
