All in all, both of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The S810c due to its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF more challenging and the Nikon S810c will provide more detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more aged S810c will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
