Quite often, it is very difficult to see the difference in sensor sizes merely by checking out a spec sheet. The picture underneath will help provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the S2900 and S3100.

As you can see, the two cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You can expect the Nikon S2900 to provide extra detail with its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs much more aggressively. The more recent S2900 will have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
