Plainly, each of the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The S6400 featuring a bigger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the Nikon S6400 will offer you extra detail due to its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The more recent S6400 will have a benefit in sensor tech.
