The P7700 having a bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Nikon P7700 will offer extra detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The more modern P7700 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
