More often than not, its tough to visualise the contrast in sensor measurements merely by checking out specs. The graphic underneath should provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-Z33 and SP-820UZ.

As you can plainly see, both cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Olympus SP-820UZ to produce extra detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop photos much more aggressively. The older EX-Z33 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
