As you have seen, both the cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Nikon S2900 to provide you with more detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures way more aggressively. The more modern S2900 will have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
