Clearly, both of these cameras have different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The S33 having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF harder and the Ricoh WG-70 will show greater detail using its extra 3 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more aged S33 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
