Typically, its difficult to visualise the gap in sensor sizing merely by viewing a spec sheet. The graphic underneath might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the S5200 and S570.

Clearly, both the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Nikon S5200 to result in more detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The newer S5200 will have an edge in sensor innovation.
