As you can tell, both cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The SX10 IS featuring a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field trickier and the Canon SX10 IS will show greater detail as a result of its extra 5 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures far more aggressively. The more aged SX10 IS will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
