As you can tell, both of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Sony TX10 to produce extra detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos much more aggressively. The more aged EX-G1 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
