Often, it is very tough to picture the contrast in sensor sizes purely by seeing technical specs. The image here should give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the P330 and S800c.

As you can tell, both the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The P330 with its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF simpler and the Nikon S800c will produce greater detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots a little more aggressively.
