As you can plainly see, both of those cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit different resolution. You should expect the Canon SX610 HS to give more detail having an extra 8MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more aged D10 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
