In many cases, it's hard to envision the gap between sensor measurements purely by reading specs. The visual below might give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the S6300 and 7030.

All in all, both of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You can count on the Nikon S6300 to offer extra detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The newer S6300 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
