Nikon S33 vs Nikon S800c Sensor Comparison

Generally, its tough to visualize the difference between sensor sizes merely by checking specs. The image below should provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the S33 and S800c.

As you can plainly see, both cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The S33 with its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Nikon S800c will resolve greater detail with its extra 3 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The younger S33 should have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
