To sum up, both of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Sony HX9V to offer more detail having an extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos more aggressively. The more aged XP10 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
