All in all, both the cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Canon SX150 IS to offer greater detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots way more aggressively. The older D10 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
