Generally, it can be tough to visualise the difference in sensor sizing purely by checking out a spec sheet. The photograph underneath might offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the S33 and WX70.

Clearly, the 2 cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The S33 using its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field trickier and the Sony WX70 will produce extra detail using its extra 3MP. Greater resolution will help you crop images a little more aggressively. The newer S33 will have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
