Plainly, each of these cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The EX-Z33 using its smaller sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field more difficult and the Nikon P340 will provide greater detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images far more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z33 will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
