Plainly, both of the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The P1000 with its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF harder and the Nikon P1000 will give you extra detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The younger P1000 provides a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
