Nikon L24 vs Nikon S33 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is very hard to visualize the gap in sensor sizes simply by looking through a spec sheet. The pic below might provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the L24 and S33.

Clearly, the two cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The L24 featuring a larger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Nikon L24 will render extra detail as a result of its extra 1MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged L24 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
