Before diving straight into a detailed comparison, below is a quick introduction of how the L24 matches up vs the S570 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Nikon Coolpix L24 & Nikon Coolpix S570. The full galleries are viewable at Nikon L24 Gallery & Nikon S570 Gallery.

Remember, the weight of an ILC will vary dependant on the lens you use at the time. Here is the front view dimension comparison of the L24 versus the S570.

Using size and weight, the portability grade of the L24 and S570 is 93 and 95 respectively.

Oftentimes, it's difficult to envision the contrast between sensor dimensions just by checking a spec sheet. The image here will provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the L24 and S570.

Clearly, both cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the Nikon L24 to give extra detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images far more aggressively. The more modern L24 is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
