Usually, it can be difficult to see the difference between sensor sizing simply by reviewing a spec sheet. The visual here will help provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the D10 and Fujifilm X30.

Clearly, both the cameras come with the identical resolution albeit not the same sensor sizing. The D10 provides the tinier sensor which is going to make obtaining shallow DOF more challenging. The older D10 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
