The A10 was manufactured 5 years later than the W530 and that is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras offer the identical body type (Ultracompact).

Before we go through a in depth comparison, below is a brief summary of how the A10 grades vs the W530 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Nikon Coolpix A10 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W530. The entire galleries are provided at Nikon A10 Gallery and Sony W530 Gallery.

In case you're planning to carry your camera regularly, you'll need to consider its weight and measurements.

Normally, it's tough to picture the contrast between sensor sizing purely by going over technical specs. The photograph underneath might offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the A10 and W530.

As you have seen, each of these cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit different resolution. You should count on the Nikon A10 to offer extra detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots a little more aggressively. The newer A10 should have an advantage in sensor tech.
