Generally, its tough to visualise the difference between sensor sizing only by looking at specifications. The visual here might give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the Z915 and S33.

To sum up, both the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Z915 using its bigger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF simpler and the Nikon S33 will give you extra detail using its extra 3MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The older Z915 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
