Sometimes, it is tough to visualise the contrast in sensor dimensions simply by going through technical specs. The image below might give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the D10 and VG-160.
As you have seen, each of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You can expect the Olympus VG-160 to provide extra detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more aged D10 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
