As you can see, both of these cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The L810 having a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF more challenging and the Nikon L810 will produce greater detail with its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged L810 will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
