More often than not, it is very difficult to envision the contrast between sensor sizing simply by checking a spec sheet. The photograph underneath will give you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the L32 and ST600.

As you can see, both of those cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You can expect the Nikon L32 to give you more detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The newer L32 is going to have an edge in sensor tech.
