Sometimes, it can be difficult to visualise the gap in sensor measurements simply by viewing specs. The photograph underneath should give you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the L28 and P7700.

All in all, each of these cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The L28 having a smaller sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field harder and the Nikon L28 will render greater detail using its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos way more aggressively.
