More often than not, it's hard to imagine the difference between sensor measurements only by checking technical specs. The photograph below should offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the F300EXR and S33.

As you have seen, the two cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The F300EXR using its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF simpler and the Nikon S33 will give extra detail with its extra 1 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots much more aggressively. The older F300EXR is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
