Sometimes, it is tough to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions just by viewing specs. The pic here will help give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the S570 and S9300.

All in all, both cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Nikon S9300 to render greater detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more aged S570 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
