The HS10 was released 6 years prior to the HX80 which is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras offer different body type with the FujiFilm HS10 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Sony HX80 being a Compact camera.

Before we go through a detailed comparison, below is a concise introduction of how the HS10 grades vs the HX80 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for FujiFilm FinePix HS10 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX80. The complete galleries are available at FujiFilm HS10 Gallery and Sony HX80 Gallery.

Quite often, it is difficult to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions only by reviewing specs. The pic below may provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the HS10 and HX80.

As you can plainly see, each of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Sony HX80 to offer you greater detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The more aged HS10 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
