More often than not, its difficult to see the contrast in sensor sizes only by seeing specifications. The image here should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the P500 and S810c.

To sum up, the two cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Nikon S810c to provide greater detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more aged P500 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
