As you can plainly see, both cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Fujifilm SL1000 to give you extra detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more aged SX10 IS is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
