Sometimes, it's tough to visualise the difference between sensor measurements merely by looking at specifications. The graphic below should give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the P7000 and S640.

To sum up, both the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The P7000 with its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF easier and the Nikon S640 will give greater detail having an extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots more aggressively. The more recent P7000 will have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
