The D800E was announced 4 years later than the L10 and that is quite a large difference as far as tech is concerned. Both cameras offer the identical body type (Mid-size SLR).

Before delving in to a detailed comparison, below is a brief overview of how the D800E scores vs the L10 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Oftentimes, it is very tough to picture the gap between sensor measurements just by reading through technical specs. The graphic here will help offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the D800E and L10.

As you can tell, the two cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The D800E using its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF easier and the Nikon D800E will resolve more detail with its extra 26MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs far more aggressively. The more recent D800E provides an edge in sensor innovation.
