As you can plainly see, both of those cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The S33 with its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Nikon S33 will produce greater detail having an extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop images way more aggressively. The newer S33 will have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
