Quite often, it is difficult to visualize the difference in sensor measurements just by researching a spec sheet. The photograph here will offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the P310 and P330.

Clearly, both cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The P310 due to its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field trickier and the Nikon P310 will result in more detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images a bit more aggressively. The older P310 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
