The HS10 was revealed 5 years before the P610 which is a fairly serious difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras offer the identical body type (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before getting in to a more detailed comparison, below is a simple introduction of how the HS10 grades versus the P610 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Typically, it's hard to envision the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by researching a spec sheet. The pic below may offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the HS10 and P610.

Clearly, the two cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Nikon P610 to render more detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots far more aggressively. The more aged HS10 will be behind in sensor innovation.
