Usually, its difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by reading through technical specs. The image here should offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the S4000 and ST65.

As you can tell, both of these cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Samsung ST65 to give you more detail with its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images a little more aggressively. The more aged S4000 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
