As you can see, both of those cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The S33 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Panasonic FH22 will offer more detail having its extra 1MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics more aggressively. The newer S33 provides an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
