More often than not, it can be hard to envision the gap between sensor sizing just by reading through specifications. The visual underneath will help provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the L32 and ST80.

To sum up, the two cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Nikon L32 to resolve more detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more recent L32 will have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
