The S6000 was introduced 3 years earlier than the S9300 and that is quite a large gap as far as tech is concerned. The two cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before we go straight to a full comparison, here is a brief highlight of how the S6000 grades vs the S9300 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Nikon Coolpix S6000 and Nikon Coolpix S9300. The whole galleries are viewable at Nikon S6000 Gallery and Nikon S9300 Gallery.

In many cases, it's hard to picture the contrast between sensor sizing merely by checking a spec sheet. The visual here will help give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the S6000 and S9300.

Clearly, both cameras feature the identical sensor size but different resolution. You should anticipate the Nikon S9300 to give greater detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images way more aggressively. The older S6000 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
