Oftentimes, it can be tough to envision the difference in sensor sizing purely by going through technical specs. The graphic here might give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the HS10 and V-Lux 40.

As you can tell, both of the cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Leica V-Lux 40 to produce more detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The older HS10 will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
