To sum up, both of those cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different MP. You can anticipate the Nikon A10 to offer you extra detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos much more aggressively. The more modern A10 should have an advantage in sensor tech.
