To sum up, both the cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The EX-Z33 using its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Nikon P7800 will resolve greater detail with its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos much more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z33 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
