Oftentimes, it is very difficult to see the gap between sensor sizing purely by reviewing a spec sheet. The visual here might offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm A170 and Fujifilm X10.

Clearly, the two cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm A170 due to its tinier sensor will make getting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Fujifilm X10 will deliver extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images a bit more aggressively. The older Fujifilm A170 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
