The L32 was brought out 4 years later than the ST65 and that is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras offer the identical body type (Ultracompact).

Before going through a more detailed comparison, below is a short view of how the L32 scores against the ST65 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

In case you're going to lug around your camera regularly, you need to factor its weight and proportions.

Normally, it is very difficult to imagine the contrast between sensor measurements merely by going over specifications. The graphic underneath may provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the L32 and ST65.

To sum up, both of those cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit different MP. You should expect the Nikon L32 to offer greater detail having its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The more recent L32 provides a benefit in sensor tech.
