As you have seen, both cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The S02 because of its smaller sensor will make getting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Nikon S3700 will result in greater detail having its extra 7MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more aged S02 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
