As you have seen, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different resolution. You should expect to see the Leica V-Lux 30 to give you more detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged HS10 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
