Sometimes, it is very hard to see the contrast in sensor sizing only by going through specs. The visual underneath may give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the D10 and WX150.

All in all, the 2 cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Sony WX150 to produce greater detail with its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots far more aggressively. The older D10 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
