Oftentimes, its hard to envision the difference in sensor dimensions simply by going through technical specs. The image here may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the S9300 and ZS50.

As you have seen, both of the cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same megapixels. You can count on the Nikon S9300 to provide extra detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more aged S9300 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
