As you can tell, the two cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The EX-H10 due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field tougher and the Sigma DP1 Merrill will give you extra detail due to its extra 3MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots more aggressively. The older EX-H10 is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
