As you can see, both cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The HS10 due to its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF harder and the Sony RX10 will offer more detail as a result of its extra 10MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics much more aggressively. The more aged HS10 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
