As you can tell, the two cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The P330 due to its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Olympus FE-4030 will give you extra detail having its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs far more aggressively. The newer P330 is going to have a benefit in sensor tech.
