Nikon L26 vs Nikon S1000pj Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is very hard to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions merely by seeing a spec sheet. The picture below will give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the L26 and S1000pj.

Clearly, both of these cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Nikon L26 to show extra detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos a little more aggressively. The newer L26 will have a benefit in sensor innovation.
