Typically, it is hard to visualise the contrast in sensor measurements purely by going through a spec sheet. The graphic here might give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the L24 and S630.

Clearly, the 2 cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Nikon L24 to produce extra detail due to its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The newer L24 will have a benefit in sensor tech.
