The C was unveiled 17 months before the S33 which makes the cameras a generation apart from one another. Both the cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before diving through a detailed comparison, below is a quick highlight of how the C grades versus the S33 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

This is a preview of the gallery photos for Leica C & Nikon Coolpix S33. The full galleries are viewable at Leica C Gallery & Nikon S33 Gallery.

If you're aiming to lug around your camera, you are going to need to take into account its weight and proportions.

Sometimes, it can be difficult to imagine the gap between sensor measurements just by going over technical specs. The photograph underneath might provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the C and S33.

As you have seen, the two cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The C having a bigger sensor is going to make getting bokeh easier and the Nikon S33 will deliver greater detail having an extra 1MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The older C is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
