Plainly, both of these cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The P7700 using its larger sensor will make shooting bokeh easier and the Nikon P7700 will provide greater detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images a bit more aggressively. The younger P7700 is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
