All in all, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Nikon L26 to resolve greater detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The younger L26 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
