All in all, each of the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The S33 due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field more difficult and the Nikon S3300 will resolve more detail utilizing its extra 3 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots way more aggressively. The fresher S33 should have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
