Sometimes, it is difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor sizing purely by going over a spec sheet. The photograph here will give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm XQ1 and TX10.

Clearly, both of those cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm XQ1 because of its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Sony TX10 will offer greater detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots much more aggressively. The younger Fujifilm XQ1 should have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
