Typically, it can be tough to visualize the gap in sensor dimensions only by going through specifications. The image here should offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the S33 and H70.

Plainly, the 2 cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The S33 because of its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF harder and the Sony H70 will produce extra detail having its extra 3MP. Greater resolution will help you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The newer S33 should have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
