Often, it is tough to visualise the gap between sensor sizing purely by reading specifications. The visual underneath might provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the S33 and DV300F.

To sum up, both of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The S33 due to its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Samsung DV300F will offer you extra detail having its extra 3 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more recent S33 is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
