Nikon P7700 vs Nikon S33 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is very difficult to picture the gap in sensor dimensions merely by viewing a spec sheet. The picture underneath should offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the P7700 and S33.

As you can see, each of these cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The P7700 featuring a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Nikon S33 will result in more detail due to its extra 1MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more aged P7700 will be behind in sensor technology.
