Typically, it can be hard to picture the gap in sensor measurements merely by going through specifications. The graphic below will give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the L28 and GR Digital IV.

To sum up, the two cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The L28 having a smaller sensor is going to make getting bokeh more difficult and the Nikon L28 will provide more detail because of its extra 10MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more recent L28 should have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
