Usually, it is difficult to see the difference in sensor sizing only by going through specs. The photograph here might provide you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the L610 and 7030.

All in all, each of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Nikon L610 to show greater detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures much more aggressively. The more modern L610 will have a benefit in sensor innovation.
