Typically, it's tough to envision the difference between sensor sizing merely by reviewing a spec sheet. The visual here should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the S3000 and S6900.

As you can see, each of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You can count on the Nikon S6900 to offer greater detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The older S3000 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
