Generally, its hard to envision the gap between sensor measurements just by reading through a spec sheet. The graphic here will help offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the S570 and RZ10.

As you can see, both of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Pentax RZ10 to resolve greater detail with its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs much more aggressively. The older S570 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
