The S02 was introduced 3 years later than the W330 and that is quite a large difference as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras have the same body design (Ultracompact).

Before going right into a in-depth comparison, here is a brief summary of how the S02 grades versus the W330 for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Quite often, it is very difficult to picture the gap between sensor measurements just by going over a spec sheet. The graphic underneath should give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the S02 and W330.

Clearly, the 2 cameras have different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The S02 having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the Sony W330 will deliver extra detail using its extra 1 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The newer S02 provides a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
