Sometimes, its difficult to visualise the gap in sensor sizes simply by researching specifications. The image underneath should give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the SX10 IS and TS30.

Plainly, both the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Panasonic TS30 to result in extra detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics a little more aggressively. The more aged SX10 IS will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
