Sometimes, it is very difficult to envision the difference in sensor measurements simply by checking out a spec sheet. The visual below will offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the P7000 and S5100.

Clearly, both of those cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The P7000 having a bigger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field simpler and the Nikon S5100 will provide greater detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures more aggressively.
