Normally, it can be tough to picture the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by checking out specifications. The picture here may give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the HS10 and A77 II.

Plainly, both cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The HS10 with its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF tougher and the Sony A77 II will provide more detail because of its extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics a little more aggressively. The more aged HS10 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
