Generally, it can be difficult to see the gap in sensor sizes purely by viewing specifications. The picture underneath may give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the S1100pj and S230.

Plainly, both of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Nikon S1100pj to result in extra detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs far more aggressively. The more recent S1100pj will have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
