Generally, it is very hard to visualise the contrast between sensor sizing just by checking technical specs. The visual here should give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the SX10 IS and EX-H15.

As you can tell, both the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Casio EX-H15 to resolve more detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos far more aggressively. The older SX10 IS is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
