For some reason I'm lusting after a little silver camera to have in my car, just like the good old days. Now that these two models are coming down in price (refurbs at least) I can pick up one or the other for under $200. Yeah, the 330 has the 10x optical zoom working for it but the S110 theoretically has superior IQ working for it.

No camera can be all things for all people, but the 330 has a good try.

If you want a good sharp wide angle through to a medium zoom with very low noise and brilliant colors in your pocket then its hard to overlook the 330.

Here is a link to cameralabs flickr test shots from each model:

S110: https://www.flickr.com/photos/cameralabs/sets/72157632033889082/

I had a look at the inside church shot at ISO1600 and full size and I would say that the S110 is a slight bit better, so if you mainly shoot in the dark then you might want the bigger sensor S110, but for general outdoors I can't see much difference.
