As you can tell, both the cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Nikon S810c to produce greater detail due to its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more aged P80 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
