Quite often, it can be tough to visualize the gap between sensor dimensions merely by looking at specifications. The picture underneath will help give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the S33 and SZ7.

To sum up, both of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The S33 using its tinier sensor is going to make shooting bokeh harder and the Panasonic SZ7 will give you more detail because of its extra 1MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The fresher S33 should have a benefit in sensor technology.
