Generally, it's difficult to visualise the gap in sensor sizing only by looking through technical specs. The photograph underneath will give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the S1100pj and S3700.

As you have seen, both of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You can anticipate the Nikon S3700 to provide you with greater detail having its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos far more aggressively. The older S1100pj will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
