As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The L24 using its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field harder and the Nikon L24 will result in more detail because of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots way more aggressively. The more aged L24 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
