As you have seen, both of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit different megapixels. You can expect the Nikon A10 to offer you more detail having an extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more aged M380 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
