All in all, both of these cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same MP. You can expect the Nikon S9900 to deliver greater detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The fresher S9900 is going to have a benefit in sensor technology.
