Normally, it is very difficult to picture the contrast between sensor measurements merely by looking at specifications. The photograph here should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the S9100 and S9900.

To sum up, both cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different MP. You can expect the Nikon S9900 to resolve extra detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures much more aggressively. The older S9100 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
