The SX10 IS was revealed 8 years before the B700 which is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras feature the same body design (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before we go right into a in-depth comparison, here is a brief introduction of how the SX10 IS matches up vs the B700 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

More often than not, it can be tough to visualise the difference in sensor sizes only by checking out specifications. The picture here should give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the SX10 IS and B700.

Plainly, both cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Nikon B700 to produce greater detail because of its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more aged SX10 IS will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
