To sum up, the two cameras come with the identical sensor size but different megapixels. You should anticipate the Nikon S3600 to offer greater detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The newer S3600 should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
