Sometimes, it can be tough to envision the difference in sensor sizes only by researching specs. The pic below may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the HS10 and A.

All in all, the 2 cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The HS10 due to its smaller sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field more difficult and the Nikon A will provide you with greater detail having its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos a little more aggressively. The more aged HS10 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
