In many cases, it is difficult to envision the gap between sensor measurements purely by checking technical specs. The photograph here may provide you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the L31 and S1200pj.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Nikon L31 to resolve extra detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos way more aggressively. The newer L31 will have an edge in sensor tech.
