Nikon S33 vs Panasonic LF1 Sensor Comparison
Generally, it can be difficult to picture the gap between sensor sizing merely by checking a spec sheet. The photograph underneath might provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the S33 and LF1.
As you can see, both of the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The S33 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Nikon S33 will give you extra detail having its extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop images a bit more aggressively. The younger S33 should have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
