Clearly, both the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The ELPH 330 HS using its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower DOF trickier and the Fujifilm F800EXR will provide extra detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics way more aggressively. The younger ELPH 330 HS is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
