Clearly, both of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same MP. You can expect the Nikon L32 to provide you with extra detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures more aggressively. The younger L32 will have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
