As you can tell, both the cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the Nikon L32 to offer you more detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The fresher L32 will have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
