Usually, it's hard to picture the gap between sensor measurements purely by going over a spec sheet. The graphic here should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the SP-810 UZ and L10.

Clearly, both of those cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The SP-810 UZ because of its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF more difficult and the Olympus SP-810 UZ will offer more detail having its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop photographs more aggressively. The more recent SP-810 UZ provides a benefit in sensor technology.
