The A10 was introduced 5 years later than the W510 and that is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras come with the identical body type (Ultracompact).

Before going in to a more detailed comparison, below is a concise view of how the A10 grades vs the W510 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Nikon Coolpix A10 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W510. The whole galleries are available at Nikon A10 Gallery and Sony W510 Gallery.

For anyone who is going to carry your camera, you'll have to factor its weight and proportions.

Sometimes, it is very tough to picture the gap between sensor sizing purely by looking at a spec sheet. The visual here will help provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the A10 and W510.

As you can see, both cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different resolution. You should count on the Nikon A10 to give you more detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots much more aggressively. The newer A10 provides an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
