Sometimes, it can be difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor sizes merely by reading technical specs. The picture below will help give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the L24 and P7700.

As you have seen, both cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The L24 using its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF harder and the Nikon L24 will offer you greater detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop shots a little more aggressively. The more aged L24 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
