Plainly, each of these cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The S01 because of its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field trickier and the Sony W330 will produce extra detail utilizing its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more recent S01 provides a benefit in sensor innovation.
