Lets look a bit more in depth at the Canon D10 and Sony HX9V, one being a Small Sensor Compact and the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom by manufacturers Canon and Sony.

The D10 was released 24 months prior to the HX9V which makes the cameras a generation apart from each other. Each of the cameras offer the identical body type (Compact).

Before getting straight into a in-depth comparison, below is a brief overview of how the D10 scores vs the HX9V with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery images for Canon PowerShot D10 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX9V. The complete galleries are provided at Canon D10 Gallery and Sony HX9V Gallery.

For anybody who is going to lug around your camera regularly, you'll need to take into account its weight and proportions.

Generally, it is difficult to envision the difference in sensor measurements merely by looking through a spec sheet. The graphic here may give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the D10 and HX9V.

As you can see, the two cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Sony HX9V to result in extra detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots a little more aggressively. The older D10 will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
