To sum up, both of those cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The S1000pj with its bigger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Nikon S33 will produce more detail with its extra 1MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots more aggressively. The more aged S1000pj will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
