Usually, its tough to imagine the difference in sensor sizes simply by going through technical specs. The pic below might offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the A2200 and SZ10.
As you have seen, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit different resolution. You can count on the Panasonic SZ10 to provide extra detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more aged A2200 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
