The L24 was unveiled 4 years prior to the SZ10 and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before we go right into a more detailed comparison, here is a brief introduction of how the L24 matches up against the SZ10 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Nikon Coolpix L24 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-SZ10. The full galleries are provided at Nikon L24 Gallery and Panasonic SZ10 Gallery.

Normally, it can be tough to envision the difference in sensor measurements simply by viewing a spec sheet. The visual here should give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the L24 and SZ10.

Clearly, both cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Panasonic SZ10 to result in more detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs more aggressively. The older L24 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
