In many cases, it can be tough to visualize the gap between sensor sizes merely by checking a spec sheet. The image below might offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the P530 and VR-330.
Clearly, each of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different resolution. You can expect to see the Nikon P530 to resolve extra detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images much more aggressively. The fresher P530 should have an advantage in sensor technology.
