Nikon S33 vs Pentax I-10 Sensor Comparison
Sometimes, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor sizing purely by looking at specifications. The visual here may offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the S33 and I-10.
Plainly, each of the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The S33 due to its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower DOF tougher and the Nikon S33 will give greater detail having its extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The fresher S33 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
