Plainly, both the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The S33 featuring a smaller sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field harder and the Samsung WB800F will produce extra detail having its extra 3MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The younger S33 will have a benefit in sensor innovation.
