In many cases, it's hard to visualise the difference between sensor dimensions purely by looking at technical specs. The picture underneath may provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the L24 and L26.
As you have seen, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Nikon L26 to give you more detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged L24 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
