All in all, both of the cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Nikon A10 to give you more detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more recent A10 will have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
