Often, it can be hard to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes purely by looking through a spec sheet. The pic below will help offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the L28 and FH20.

Clearly, both cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Nikon L28 to result in greater detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images much more aggressively. The fresher L28 is going to have a benefit in sensor technology.
