Below you can see the L120 and L820 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Nikon L120 and Nikon L820 Cameras
Nikon L120 and Nikon L820 have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the same focal length and aperture.
Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Nikon L120
or the
Nikon L820 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
