Usually, it is tough to envision the gap between sensor dimensions just by reviewing a spec sheet. The pic here may give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the S3300 and FH6.
As you can see, each of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Nikon S3300 to deliver extra detail due to its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos somewhat more aggressively.
