Often, it can be tough to imagine the contrast in sensor measurements only by seeing a spec sheet. The graphic below will help offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the XC10 and TX5.

As you can see, both the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The XC10 having a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Canon XC10 will show greater detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos far more aggressively. The more modern XC10 should have an advantage in sensor technology.
