Plainly, both of those cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Nikon S6500 to resolve greater detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The fresher S6500 is going to have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
