Plainly, the 2 cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The S33 using its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF more difficult and the Nikon S6200 will result in greater detail having an extra 3 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The fresher S33 should have an advantage in sensor technology.
