Nikon S33 vs Sony W710 Sensor Comparison

To sum up, both of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The S33 using its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF harder and the Sony W710 will offer extra detail using its extra 3MP. Greater resolution will let you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more recent S33 provides a benefit in sensor technology.
