Nikon L24 vs Nikon P330 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is very tough to imagine the difference between sensor sizes simply by reading a spec sheet. The pic underneath will help provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the L24 and P330.

As you can see, each of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The L24 with its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF trickier and the Nikon L24 will deliver more detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots way more aggressively. The more aged L24 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
