Normally, it's hard to envision the contrast between sensor sizing simply by going over specifications. The graphic here might offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the S01 and S70.

To sum up, each of these cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The S01 using its tinier sensor will make getting bokeh harder and the Nikon S70 will offer more detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The younger S01 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
