Clearly, both of these cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The L24 due to its smaller sensor will make getting shallower depth of field tougher and the Nikon L24 will render greater detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures much more aggressively. The older L24 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
