Normally, it is very hard to imagine the gap between sensor measurements just by reading through a spec sheet. The photograph underneath will give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the S6100 and ZR1.

Clearly, both cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different MP. You can anticipate the Nikon S6100 to resolve greater detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more recent S6100 provides an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
