As you have seen, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Nikon L32 to offer you greater detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The newer L32 is going to have an edge in sensor innovation.
