As you can tell, both of those cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The L32 due to its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF harder and the Nikon L32 will show extra detail as a result of its extra 15MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The younger L32 provides an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
