As you can see, the two cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The P340 featuring a larger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Nikon P340 will provide you with extra detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop photos a little more aggressively. The newer P340 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
