As you can see, both of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit different resolution. You can count on the Nikon P610 to render extra detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more recent P610 should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
