Often, it can be difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor dimensions just by researching a spec sheet. The pic here will provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the S800c and S1.
Clearly, both of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different resolution. You can anticipate the Nikon S800c to provide you with more detail utilizing its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images much more aggressively. The more modern S800c should have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
