Often, it is very difficult to envision the difference between sensor dimensions simply by reading through a spec sheet. The picture here might provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the P310 and S33.

As you can see, the 2 cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The P310 having a bigger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Nikon P310 will give extra detail with its extra 3 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more aged P310 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
