Sometimes, it can be tough to picture the contrast between sensor measurements only by reviewing technical specs. The visual here might give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX10 IS and A7 II.

As you can tell, both of these cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The SX10 IS because of its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field tougher and the Sony A7 II will offer you extra detail as a result of its extra 14MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs more aggressively. The older SX10 IS is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
