As you can tell, both of the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The D10 having a tinier sensor will make shooting shallow DOF tougher and the Canon D10 will offer more detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures much more aggressively. The older D10 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
