As you can tell, both of those cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The S5300 having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Nikon S5300 will deliver extra detail because of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The newer S5300 provides an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
