All in all, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions but different resolution. You should expect to see the Nikon L31 to resolve greater detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more modern L31 provides an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
