Usually, it's tough to see the contrast between sensor measurements purely by reading technical specs. The graphic below will help provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the A10 and S70.

As you have seen, both of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Nikon A10 to offer you greater detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more modern A10 will have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
