More often than not, it is very tough to picture the difference in sensor sizing just by going through technical specs. The photograph below will provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the S1000pj and S800c.

As you can tell, both of these cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit different MP. You should expect the Nikon S800c to produce extra detail having its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The older S1000pj will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
